Can I wear a sweat band around my waist and thermogenic sweat accelerator on my tummy 6 weeks post tummy tuck?

Question

Mainly, I want to know if it’s safe to use any thermogenic cream on your abdominal skin post tummy tuck and if so when it’s okay.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello. Great question. At six weeks, it should not be a problem. However, I will suggest discussing your concerns with your surgeon. Every surgeon has different post op protocols.

Sacha Obaid, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question! For my patients, at 6 weeks post op, they have no more restrictions. So yes, it is ok to wear a sweat band and use sweat accelerators at that time, however I recommend discussing specific post op instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  I would recommend reaching out to your surgeon for the best recommendation.  In general thermogenic creams do not provide any benefit for patients.  Hope this helps.
