Is my compression garment causing worse swelling? (photo)

February 3, 2014
Asked By:kmomma in NJ

I just had mini tummy tuck with lipo and My PS told me to wear the garment for four weeks but I can't stand it. I feel like it practically cuts off circulation in my legs and the top is so tight that when I first came home from surgery I felt like I couldn't breathe. I have major swelling below my belly button and I look like I'm pregnant! Before surgery my stomach was almost flat. I am trying to did out if the garment could be causing all the swelling rather than helping it. I am one week post op.
