Answer: Compression Hi there,Thank you for your question! Depending on your surgeon, you may need to wear a binder immediately after surgery due to your drain placement. After drains are removed, I usually recommend a Step 1 Garment for the next 2 weeks. After that, you can switch to a Step 2/3 Garment that has more stretch and can be worn for daily activities underneath clothing. Marena has some great post surgical options.Hope that helps!

Answer: Best compression garment for tummy tuck? Hello @Plucky260986, thank you for your question. The best operative attire is the one recommended by your specialist, because the compression garment depends of multiple things among other the doctor's surgical technique and the type of equipment used to perform the surgery. According to the clinical criteria is the level of compression of the girdle and the period of use. Is important that you take into account that inadequate compression can generate more inflammation. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
