Should I Have Worn a Compression Garment After my Thigh Lift?

Snody
I had a TT and thigh lift 8 weeks ago. I went home from the hospital with a compression garment for my tummy but I was not told to wear one for my thighs. I was told to stay mobile to prevent blood clots. At one week I was driving and even grocery shopping. I am very worried that something has come undone with my left thigh. My PS says that it is too early to tell. Would I have a better result if I had worn a garment? I am also worried about my tummy bulge but my PS says it is not a seroma.
