Is it too late or helpful for lipofoam to be put back, 2 weeks post lipo? I had removed it on day 3 (Photos)

Question

I had lipo done on my upper/lower abs, full back and love handles. I was given the garment which I kept on, but ripped the foam off after the 3rd day. Now my stomach has unevenness. On side looks Flat, the other bulging a little and just doesnt look smooth. My surgeon said it's not the fluids that he would need to drained, but I have to wear the garment. Is this unevenness going to go away, because now I'm consistent with wearing tight garment like Spanx? Or should I put a lipo pad on? Thank you.

I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol for compression garments. My patients wear customized compression after their procedures. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Hello dear, thanks for your post and provided information and pictures as well. Is not too late because you are still swollen and compression is always good after a plastic surgery. But I recommend to ask to your surgeon for any post surgical instructions because each dr. has their own policy.Good luck
