I am 3 weeks post tummy tuck. Is it safe to wear the cherry waist trainer?

Patients after any cosmetic plastic surgery procedure including a tummy tuck should adhere to the post surgical activity restrictions prescribed by the surgeon. These restrictions are usually followed for 6 to 8 weeks after surgery.Patients should not be doing any activity or wearing special devices ( like a "cherry waist trainer") WITHOUT their surgeon's approval to avoid jeopardizing the healing process and affect the ultimate outcome of the elective cosmetic plastic surgery procedure.

Hello,Thank you for the question. I recommend that my patients begin applying scar gel or silicone sheeting around 3-4 weeks post op- as soon as incisions are completely closed. The addition of a waist trainer is best discussed with your Plastic Surgeon as they know your situation the best.Take care
