The best garments, in my opinion, after a mommy makeover are an abdominal binder and a bra. If you're getting liposuction as well, a custom made compression garment is necessary at times. Most of my mommy makeover patients do well with just the binder and bra.Thank you for your question!Dr. Schreiber, Baltimore plastic surgeon
Since every surgeon has his or her own post op protocol, this question is best answered by your surgeon. Typically, I send my Mommy Makeover patients home in a specific support garment that I have them wear for the first few weeks. Then, depending on how they are healing, patients can move into the garment of their choice such as Spanx. Hope this helps -- Dr. Nazarian
Hello,Thank you for your question. Each Surgeon has their own preference. I frequently use custom support garments for thigh/leg liposuction but typically a surgical binder and surgical bra for mommy makeovers. These garments are included with surgery costs in my practice. Your Plastic Surgeon will likely be able to recommend good quality surgical compression garment companies which you can order garments from if you need to.All the best
Hi, thank you foe the question, the garment that will fit you best would be better to be suggested by your PS, In my practice the patient goes out of the OR with it, that way i can make sure is the perfect one.
Thank you for your question regarding compression garment selection. The specific garment will vary depending on what procedures you are having as part of your 'mommy makeover'. I recommend the use of Marena garments to my patients. They are excellent quality and not too expensive. Check with your board certified plastic surgeon for recommendations specific for your surgery.
Hello and thanks. I appreciate your question, but this is a matter of preference between different offices and doctors. I currently use Rainey and Marena and patients have been very happy. Best wishes always, Dr. ALDO
This question is best answered by your surgeon's office. There are several styles to choose from depending on the procedures you are having done. They can often assist with correct sizing too. Compression will also come with different strengths of compression available depending which stage of recovery you're in.

Follow your surgeon's directions carefully and wearthe recommended garments as long as they advise.
Your ideal compression garment should have a few characteristics which include excellent compression, durability, easily washable, and comfort. There are a number of companies out there that make excellent garments. Do your research and try to sample these garments before you purchase. I prefer Design Veronique. Good luck.
Every doctor has a preferred garment brand or model that they like to work with. Of course if you have any suggestions these are welcome always. Best is to ask your doctor what he recommends you.Best of luck,Dr. Derby Sang Caputo
After a Mommy Makeover it's recommended that you refrain from flying for two to three weeks. The main concern is blood clot formation. It's also a good idea to remain near your surgeon early in your recovery to address concerns and follow your progress. Pain management is handled differently...
This question must be answered by your surgeon. She/He needs to review the lab values to determine if further testing is necessary, clearance by a specialist is needed, or if you can proceed as planned with your surgery.
After a Mommy Makeover patients can generally return to strenuous activities after six weeks. It is best to begin slowly and build back up to your previous activity level. Since your hiking trip is not until eight months after your surgery you should be feeling good and be ready to go!
