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.

This is quite normal after liposuction and fully expected. It will take at least 6 weeks post surgery to resolve most of the swelling and you can have some hardness/swelling up to a year post procedure. You are doing all the right things, just need to give it more time.
