Are there any alternatives for the faja or lipo foam/faja combination? (photos)

I had a successful Tummy Tuck, Muscle Plication and Liposuction (21days post op). I'm very satisfied with the procedure but my Faja digs into my skin. I make sure it's not too lose or too tight. I use the lipo foams but I'm still in a lot of pain from the Faja. I'm not even in pain from the surgery. While wearing the Faja when I stand from sitting or laying it's like the Faja creates a suction on my skin where the muscles were repaired. Now, this hurts more than the surgery. Suggestions :-(
