Compression wrap after hysterectomy or not?

Has anyone got any experience, advice or suggestions for this please?

I had a C section with my last DC(24) and have always had a little bit of an overhang despite being slim. I usually wear fairly firm high waist pants these days cos I'm old enough not to care what DP thinks Grin

Currently a week since I had an abdominal hysterectomy so the dressing is off and the wound needs to dry out. Short of hanging upside down like a bat or duct taping my battered midriff up towards my boobs, I am struggling to get the raw crease to stay open enough for this.

I'm wearing seamless cotton high waist briefs, pat drying the wound and airing as often as possible but wondering if one of those compression bands would do any harm short term. I just need to lift my belly up a bit! Words from the wise would be most welcome Smile
