Most patients after a mommy makeover are ambulating the next day. Compressive hose are generally not necessary. Nevertheless, follow the specific instructions of your own surgeon.
Compression stockings canbe extremely helpful in the healing process. Speak with your surgeondirectly and ask their recommendations about how long to wear the stockings. Inour office we generally have our patients wear them until they are comfortabledoing light walking. Best to you. -Dr. Coan
