Can You Wear a Binder on Top of Spanx After a Tummy Tuck? (photo)

Asked By:chrmik in Guelph, ON

I'm 5 weeks post op with significant swelling. A week ago I was fine,but have recently returned to work where I'm on my feet for 8hrs. I found since I returned to work and switched to spanx, my tummy had gotten bigger. I don't have reason to think I've compromised the muscle repair. The last couple days I switched back to my binder and its slowly getting better, but still not quite like before. Could it help wearing the binder over the spanx for maximum compression?
