Hadtummy tuck after 120lbs weight loss and was left with excess skin that diet and exercise was not resolving.

Definently looks better than before but seem to be healing slow with swelling still present over 7 weeks out.

Tummy tuck on April 7th and Liposuction for left over fluid on July 21st. Still wearing binder for comfort and will swell when I have it off. Is this ok and/or normal to still be wearing the binder?

Great review?

I've seen so many different answers Re: how long to wear the garment. I think the consensus is "as long as possible", although at a certain point you won't be improving on the final result. Here's another thread with a bunch of answers about how long to wear the garment: How long do you recommend wearing the compression garment?

Hope this helps!
