3 weeks post TT question

I had an extended TT (no muscle repair), lipo and fat injections into my buttox... the past few days areas of the incision (around where hip bones poke out in the front) are getting irritated and the skin above/below is hurting... they are red but nothing looks infected... I am wondering if its from wearing the binder? I am at work today and had to take it off, I have been sleeping in it but had to take it off last night because it was bothering me. I went out and bought underwear a size larger and have been wearing yoga pants to work (because of the swelling and also for comfort). Not sure if this is normal... Ive had little to no pain so far but am wondering if stuff is starting to heal (nerve wise) so its getting irritated? Or I did start using the hybrasil last week, could that be a cause? I use it on the entire incision and belly button and it looks great except for the irritation sports.

I was wearing a tank top underneath my girdle, no more rubbing and irritating the scar. I wore the ones you find in the mens department, come in a pack of 3.   Did your doctor give you the go ahead on using hybrasil?  I was told not to use anything on it at all.  Hope you start feeling better.

I have been wearing the tank underneath as well, just doesnt seem to help at this point now that I am more mobile.
Yeah the Dr gave me the hybrasil and said at 2 weeks post-op to start using it!
Thanks
