How Long Does the Average Patient Wear Their Girdle After a Tummy Tuck? Are there times after the recovery period has ended that a patient may want to wear the girdle again?

A: Compression garment, tummy tuck

I generally have patients wear a compressive abdominal binder for 3-4 weeks. In the fourth week, I usually have them wear this only during the day. If the patient has Liposuction of the thighs or back they may have to wear garments longer (5-6 weeks) but I get them out of the binder first and transition to a more comfortable garment or even Spanx.

	“Had TT 14 Days Ago - Norfolk, VA” Pre-surgery with my doctor were great. He answered all my questions no matter how trivial. On the day of surgery the entire staff was great. They talked to me while I was waiting, answered more questions then I went to sleep. Waking up was in all honesty awful, I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights. Moving any part of my body in the first 24 to 36 hours was terrible and it wasn't from... more
	“Tummy Tuck (Extended) and Breastlift...” I had gastric bypass surgery four years ago. I lost over 100 lbs. Uncomfortable with the extra skin and the droopy breasts, I am scheduled for a Breastlift with augmentation on Monday, 23 August. I will then have my (extended) tummy tuck the following Thursday, 26 August. My doctor does not do both procedures at the same time. He is concerned with the length of both surgeries and prefers... more
	“31 Year Old Mommy of 4, Just Wanted...” I've wanted a tummy tuck for years now. In fact after our third I had a consultation and received a quote for nearly $10,000 in Michigan. Everything happens for a reason because I didn't have the procedure done now 3 years later we have 4 boys, their ages are 8, 6, 3 and 1. We hadn't planned on a fourth but I guess it was meant to be. I'd been feeling really down about my... more
	“Dog Ears and Pleats After Tummy Tuck” I had a full tummy tuck on Dec. 15. After weight loss, I wanted the lax skin to be excised, and the full tummy tuck hs given me a taut, flat stomach. Had muscles tightened too.Now I have dog ears and several large, rock-hard pleats (6-7 inches long) on each hip. I've also developed significant puffiness above the incision on one hip, but he says it's not a seroma (had a drain for 8 days).... more
	“Can't Breathe and Gastroparesis...” I am 2 years post op tummy tuck. I weighed 155 at the time of surgery. I had problems breathing the day after surgery, and ever since then I have problems taking a deep breath. I especially can’t breathe after eating.I had a stomach emptying study and it showed that I have gastroparesis. I have looked online and it said stomach surgery is one of the causes of gastroparesis. I also have... more
	“What Can I Say?!? Waited 21 Years to...” I know what the pros are supposed to be however I haven't gotten there yet the cons for an extended tummy tuck is the horrid pain, swelling and fear the extreme (14 lbs worth) swelling would put me BACK in need of TT.I did it because I was (still am) confident in the dr I chose, his work is amazing. He is always accessible and certainly caring towards his patients. I waited 21 years to get... more
	“Developed Asthma Symptoms and Gerd...” I had a tt 2 years ago. Ive been short of breath and developed gerd immediately after surgery. i have to use asthma inhalers. Is it possible that my diaphram is pushed up so high because my tuck is so tight, that its making it hard to breathe. I also have a very tight stomach, and the upper belly is very large and hard. more
	“Tummy Tuck” I was delighted with my tummy tuck 6 yrs. ago. it removed the hang over i had developed. however, i have gained about 15- 20 lbs. all subcutaneously. the only con i experienced with the tummy tuck, was the painful recovery. more
	“Absolutely Worth It!” The biggest pro about the surgery is my flat tummy. I no longer have ripply or dimpled skin. I have not gained any weight so am very happy with the results. The con is not being able to work my ab muscles. I could do 200 situps easily, now only 20. more
	“Well Worth It!” I had an extended tummy tuck on January 23rd. I am now 6 days post op and feeling pretty good. I had prepared myself for severe pain, however found that more than pain what I experienced was severe uncomfortableness. More than anything, the back pain and the tightness of the skin seemed to be the worst. I stayed overnight with a nurse my first night (it was optional) and I feel it was well... more
	“Why Did I Wait So Long?” This was the best self-esteem booster! On a scale of 10, my threshold for pain is about a 2. I had no pain...some discomfort but no pain. Three days after my surgery, I was out having lunch with friends. I really expected a long, painful recovery. I'm just sorry that I waited so long to do it. more
