I had lipo on my chest, abdomen, flanks, and back three weeks ago. Per surgeon's advice, I've been wearing abdominal binder straps (which cover the area) on an off-on schedule (on ~90 minutes, off ~30 minutes) to create a "pump" effect and "keep the result we had on the operating table" and also reduce swelling. I still have one area that's swollen (he says there was more fibrous fat there). In a couple days I'll be on a series of long flights. How do you deal with binders on a plane?
