My Doctor Says, no need for compression vest after Surgery.

Hii,

I have gynecomastia, and after lots of research and finding a good doctor, i decided to go under knife in few days. There will be excision and lipo. And my Doctor recommends to put 'dip' under my nipples.

The thing i am worried about is that, when i asked him about the compression vest (post op), he said there is no need. I was shocked because, all the doctors that i have been to all says to wear vest for atleast 45 days and never take it out except during baths.

He is senior doctor and came recommended by many professors and other doctors.

 So should i trust him, or request him for VEST.

I am not sure what you mean by a "dip" under the nipples.I utilize a compression  vest in 100% of my cases.

some nozzle type thing to drain any fluids that may build up after surgery..

No compression after surgery?  Your surgeon is in the distinct minority!
