Compression Garments and Itching. Is it okay not to wear it at this point? 1 day post-op.

October 16, 2014
Asked By:bourgogne5 in Sarasota, FL

I had liposuction i. My flank area yesterday but have found it impossible to we my compression garment this far because of extreme itchiness. I plan to wear this when my post surgery itchiness subsides but it is out of the question right now. Is it okay not to wear it at this point? Am I risking a poor overall outcome? Seriously, if I try to put it on I feel as if I'm one of those monks of the middle ages going for mortification of the flesh.
