Is there such a thing as too much compression after BBL?

Question

Stanley Okoro, MD · Answer

Too
much compression can compromise blood flow to your skin causing skin necrosis.
If there is not enough blood flow getting to all the layers of skin, areas of
your skin can turn a dark color in the first few days after surgery, then these
areas of skin may slough off leaving a wound. Too much compression can be due
to tight fitting garments or wearing an abdominal binder too tight. We give all
of our patients foam pads for their flank area to help protect their skin from
the garments and abdominal binder. We also remind our patients not to pull
their abdominal binders too tight examine their skin every day in the mirror,
performing 360 degree turns to see all angles. 
Closer follow up with our patients also help manage and even present
complications. We see patients 1 day and 1 week post operatively.

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.It is difficult to evaluate the options without seeing photos,It is recommended to use the belt for a period of between one and three months after the operation. In fact, if you stop using the belt during the first 15 days of the postoperative period, inflammations may occur that affect the intervened area and cause alterations in the desired silhouette.
I hope this answer will help youMy best wishes for you...
