How Effective Are Abdominal Boards?

Question

Ive heard some people saying they've used abdominal boards underneath their garments, how effective are these?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

These may be effective, but I do not use them for my patients.   I do think a well fitting compression garment does help as well.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

I am not sure about boards, but there is sometimes a problem with folds in the garment or abdominal skin which can afffect the final result so it may be intended to prevent that. I use pads of a material called topifoam which is quite comfortable but prevents the fold issue. It is placed under the garment.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Some surgeons use form on the abdomen to add more compression than what the garment provides.
