Answer: Compression Compression is helpful after surgery to help manage swelling and to support the healing tissues. I advise my patients to wear the compression for the first three to four weeks after surgery in most cases. You will need to check with your surgeon for your post op instructions. She/He is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.

Answer: Wearing your binder after mini tummy tuck I advise my patients to wear some type of compression after their tummy tuck or mini-tummy tuck for 4-6 weeks. Many patients like the support the more rigid binder offers in the first few weeks and will stay with the binder for the entire course. Others want to have more flexibility in terms of what they can wear over the compression and switch to something softer, similar to Spanx.

Answer: Binder? It is OK to not wear your binder for short periods such as when showering and performing other personal hygiene. I suggest you speak with your plastic surgeon about other times you do not want to wear the binder. Good luck. Dr. ALDO
