I had a extended tummy tuck with liposcution of the flanks 4 weeks ago. My doctor said to wear it for 6 weeks then I can go with male Spanx. My question is, will the Under Armour brand compression top do the same job as the male Spanx compression top?

Answer: Under Armour or Male Spanx After Male Tummy Tuck?
Acupuncture increases blood flow to affected areas. In addition, acupuncture can decrease inflammation and increase lymphatic bloodflow. Acupuncture has also been found to reduce pain. I see nothing wrong with doing acupuncture after a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. The only thing I would caution...
Great job on your weight loss! Looking at your photo and your stats, it's possible that you may get significant skin tightening that will give additional improvement after the fat loss, but I think it's unlikely to completely resolve your concerns about lose skin in the lower abdomen....
The photograph demonstrates significant laxity of the skin when the abdomen is flexed. The striae in the remaining skin bespeaks poor quality. Although not reported in the history, my guess is that the redundant skin leading to an abdominoplasty is a function of significant weight loss.
