Is a compression garment absolutely necessary for lipo, or optional?

SDlivin
I’m very loosely considering liposuction of some sort to my upper arms,flanks, mid/upper back. these areas have been resistant to diet, exercise, and strength training for my entire life. I cannot wear compression garments, I can hardly tolerate spanx or any constrictive clothing.Are any types of lipo possible without requiring post op garment?or is a garment absolutely necessary? what happens if one is not worn?
