Hi I'm 9 weeks post Liposuction. i've been wearing the compression garment for the entire 9 weeks 24/7, and have gotten 10 deep tissue massages. But I still notice swelling on my lower abdomen, especially around my belly button, and on the right side of my abdomen i feel it bumpy. I also noticed that after sitting for a long period of time, I tend to swell in those specific areas. Is this normal? Will it eventually go away? Would you recommend i stop using the compression garment? Thank You.
