I had a liposuction at love handles and thighs a year ago, eversince i keep wearing the compression garment whenever i go out as it gives a better shaping. Recently i noticed that my skin got loose and it is like there is water inside my body it is not firm as it used to be. My butt is like two bags of water, its very loose. I cant get rid of the garment, cant wear my clothes without wearing it. Is all of this because of wearing the garment for too long? How can I get my body firm again ? Thanks
