I stopped wearing a compression garment at 5 weeks post op TT, MR, and lipo to flanks. I then wore it randomly until weaning myself fully off the garment at 6 weeks. I'm not 7 weeks post op and the swelling isn't horrible, but I feel it doesn't really go away 100%. I've read of others wearing their garments months after, could I have ruined my "flat" results by weaning my body off the compression too early? Will this be my final results or do I have more healing to do?
