Could my compression vest too tight if my penis and scrotum are completely turned purple?

Asked By:username0000 in Montclair, NJ

I had gynecomastia removed via vaser lipo yesterday as well as my belly and love handles. The doc has me in a full compression vest with a second thing underneath wrapped around my stomach very tight. My penis and scrotum has completely turned purple and filled with liquid and looks horrible and hurts. I also have numb skin in places under the vest. Is the best too tight?
