How Often to Change Bandages After Tummy Tuck w/ Lipo?

March 16, 2011
Asked By:whitewolf3253 in Jasper, TX

I just had a full tummy tuck with lipo of the flanks, hips, medial thigh and knees. I have a lot of banaging under my compression garment and was wondering how often should the bandaging be changed. Also, how do I care for the new belly button? Mine was packed with some yellow gauze and I was told to leave that in there until my next visit which is in a week. I just need some help with understanding this process. Thank youl
