silk under binder straightaway?

Hey ho, I'm getting DI no nips on Tuesday, hurrah. No drains planned. As my skin is sensitive, I'd love to start out the gate with a thin silk layer under binder, rather than waiting until post-op appointment, as I'm not supposed to remove it at all for that first week. So was thinking to bring it with me to surgery and ask if they'd include the silk layer when the put the binder on, as I think this happens before we wake up - but if people think it is a fool's errand, and they won't do it for some standard protocol reaason, I won't spend my spoons on trying to communicate this. Any thoughts?

almost 4 weeks post op

hematoma seems to be gone on my left side now but i still have some swelling and the incision is slightly raised but other than that i like how it looks so far. i have been itching to get back into the gym tho.. luckily going on walks has definitely helped with not feeling so shitty ab it😃
