3 weeks post lipo, do not want to take off garment

Your experience mirrors my patients post lipo experience.  I tell my patients that there is an initial innate contempt of their garment and they conspire to burn it as soon as they are "released" from their bondage.  But that loss of support and the"gitters" they experience without the garment makes them crawl back to the garment like going back to an old boyfriend!  This sounds very normal and in my experience you will need to wean yourself off of your garment. I recommend transitioning into Spankx.  Of course you need to continue close follow up with your surgeon and follow their recommendations. They are familiar with your case.  Best wishes

Doctors very widely on the protocol of how long patients should wear compression garments.

In my practice I ask patients to wear them for two weeks but they are welcome to wear them longer if they find them comfortable.

Changes in skin sensation are common and inevitably settle down though the process can take weeks to several months at times.

I see no reason why you should not be able to wear your compression garments as long as you want.

Do  check with your plastic surgeon.
