Hello,The compression garment or binder should be nice and snug but not painful or causing difficulty breathing. feeling "uncomfortable" is a bit subjective. Many people don't like the constricted feeling even when not overly tight. I recommend that you ask your Plastic Surgeon or nurse at their office to help you ensure that you are wearing it just right.All the best
The binder or garment should not be painful. The first 2 weeks, a wrap around binder is usually used and can be adjusted for comfort.
