Is a compression garment needed after a drainless tummy tuck? Is 7 hours normal for mommy makeover?

April 14, 2021
Asked By:ScOhara in Indiana, IN

I am getting a mommy makeover... Drainless tummy tuck, transaxillary augmentation, and inner thigh lipo. I have done a lot of research and I read a lot about compression garments. My Dr doesn't recommend wearing them with the drainless tummy tuck during the first two weeks. Thoughts? I haven't read this anywhere else. Also, the surgery time is going to be 7 hours. Is this too long? I am healthy with no underlying issues... no smoking etc. PS is board certified.
