Can I Stop Wearing my Compression Garment After Lipo on Flanks?

October 1, 2012
Asked By:mercerfer in Los Gatos, CA

I had breast augmentation and smart lipo on my flanks, 200cc's removed on each side. I've barely felt anything from the lipo, but have quite a bit of swelling from the breasts. I would LOVE to take off my compression garment as it's the only annoyance I have at this time. I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. Do you think it's ok to stop wearing it?
