I seeing many corsets and waist trainers. Does 'this help maintain your results long term?? Is it necessary..
Answer: Binders Garments are often worn for the first few weeks after surgery for support and to control swelling. After that, there is no need to continue to wear them. The work was done in surgery to hold you in. After that it's just your time to enjoy the benefits!

Answer: Should we continue to use a binder/waist trainer/corset? Does it help with healing? The compression helps early on with swelling and scar maturation, but beyond 6 weeks it probably doesn't add anything. At that point you should be able to wear whatever you want and enjoy your new body! Hope that helps!

Answer: Should we continue to use a binder? Does it help with healing? Thank you for sharing your question. Compression garments are typically used to help reduce the degree of soft tissue swelling present after surgery and will not materially impact your long-term results. I would advocate following your surgeons recommendations as they know the full details of your procedure. Hope this helps.

Answer: Garments Dear ginnia,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Wear the binders if it is recommended to you. They help with fluid buildup and control movement that may otherwise widen your scars. Follow up with your plastic surgeon as to when to stop.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: Compression garment help with healing This will vary from surgeon to surgeon, so I would ask your surgeon.I recommend a properly fitted garment for the first 6 weeks (24 hours/day). I typically ask patients to use adjustable garments with multiple bands so that tension can be adjusted to help obliterate dead space and reduce the incidence of fluid collections. I doubt that long-term results are improved by wearing the garment longer than 6 weeks.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
