Post-lipo Compression Garment Bunches Up Fat in Between the Hooks

filler queen
I've read here about PostLipo compression garments. The two I use after my abdominal lipo 2 days ago hurt and have hooks 2"-3" apart on sides underneath the zippers. Fat bunches up between the hooks around my ribcage, even when I'm standing. Will this mold the fat and make my sides uneven?
