I had liposuction done 7 days ago to my lower upper abdominal and flanks. I had very little bruising and my stomach was completely flat 5 days post . My surgeon advised me to wear a tighter garment and I been doing so for 2 days. My stomach is more swollen now then before. I wore a waist clincher that was given to me the day of my surgery. They advised me to wear a size small but I could not even close that size. So I wore a medium which was a little tough to put on but I got adjusted after a few hours.
