Which garment or binder is best to wear after a tummy tuck?

August 18, 2013
Asked By:Hispana

This is my 19th day after having a tummy tuck and liposuction. My doctor wants me to wear the 2nd garment he provided for at least 6 weeks for the swelling to calm down but I can't stand the garment is too tight and it bothers me when I do chores, unlike others that prefer their garments for security. I am still pretty swollen but would prefer a garment that will not bother my incisions. I need suggestions from experience people. Is it necessary? What brand or type of garment should I buy?
