Answer: When do I change to a stage 2 garment ? = when your doctor tells you #tt #compressiongarment #stage2 #drmesa Abdominal binder and compression garments are usually prescribed to be wear after at tummy tuck to improve post surgical swelling and promote "skin shrinkage"Stage 2 garments are a type of garments that are usually wore once most of the initial post surgical swelling has subsided.Since the swelling resolution after a surgical procedure varies among patients, only the surgeon ( that performed the surgery) after a physical exam is the one that could safely determine when it is ok to switch to an stage 2 garment

Answer: When to transition to stage 2 garments? Congratulations on your procedure and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.The best timing will be determine by your surgeon and his/her experience with your procedure. In my case, I like to transition when the the swelling and the incisions are closer to the normal stage. usually 6-8 weeks. Finally, make sure that your doctor is aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care. Wishing you the best in your journey
