compression

I don't know if this is the right section but... How long are we supposed to wear the Compression binder/vest from surgery? My doctor told me to wear it a couple of days and then just wear an underarm our, but I'm paranoid that my concept of " couple of days" and his are off. I had surgery on wednesday and I wore the surgery vest until all of saturday. Today ( sunday) I'm only wearing a nike compression shirt ( it feels just like an underarm our). Is that okay? or will this ruin my results. PLEASE ANSWER :/

Hi

as far as i am aware, you are meant to leave the vest on for 2-3 weeks. i just had my op last thursday and im planning to keep it on at least 2 weeks 24/7 and then just at night the 3rd week. hope this helps.

also who did u have surgery with?

So i should just keep the stage 1 vest for all 3 weeks? Mine is really bulky and really obvious that I'm wearing something under my shirt. I think I'll just keep the stage 1 vest on until i talk to my doctor. I had surgery with dr. kapoorr and he's been awesome so far
