CONTACT NOW Answer: I am 3 weeks post tummy tuck. Is it safe to wear the cherry waist trainer? Hello! Thank you for your question. In my practice, most patients will be placed in an abdominal binder, which they will wear the first week. There is usually a fair amount of swelling and the binder should be opened several times a day so that there are no pressure points. After the first 7 to 10 days the patient is placed in an elastic garment for compression over the next six weeks. Swelling can persist for several months and will gradually improve and will look better at three months, six months, and even one year. But, I am not your plastic surgeon. Each PS has their own set of protocols they would like their patients to follow. I recommend you contact your PS to gain his advice and recommendations on scar care. Best Wishes!#Abdominalbinder #3weekspostTT #scarcare

Answer: Post Op Protocol Since every surgeon has his or her own unique post op protocol, you need to ask your surgeon re: the waist trainer. Typically, I require that my TT patients wear a specific support garment for 4 weeks and then they are free to do as they please. In terms of silicone gel, again, speak with your surgeon before using. Best, Dr. Nazarian
