I'm not wearing the compression garment for some
time because I have a problem. There is some liquid
or maybe Pus coming out from one of the areas & I am
under medicines but if I wear the compression
garment it hurts me a lot & I have a lot of
discomfort. Is there or will there be some problem
because I have worn it for a month only & for last
10days. I am not wearing it & will wear it once the
injury is over. Please reply I am worried.

Preeti,
If I understand you correctly, you say you are
taking medicine and have Pus coming out of an injury
(presumably the incision line). You are not wearing
your compression garment because it hurts, but you
will start wearing it once the injury heals.
The compression garment is given to you for a
purpose. It is used to compress, hold and maintain
your newly shaped abdominal area to help it heal
without sagging. It squeezes the body, forcing
fluids back towards the deeper body tissues and
helps to reducing edema (swelling) in the affected
areas. It also improves blood circulation, flushes
harmful fluids out of the body, expedites the
healing process and allows the patient to recover
faster.
By not wearing your compression garment you are not
getting any of these benefits and are delaying the
healing process. Many tummy tuck patients have some
level of pain or discomfort when they wear their
compression garment after surgery.
You are a little vague about your "injury" and the
type of medicine you are taking.
If you think that you are not healing properly or
have excessive pain when you wear your compression
garment, I would suggest that you address these
issues with your surgeon. He is the only one that
can tell you what to do.
Good luck.
Tanner
