I am 49 years old and had a tummy tuck and muscle repair 7 weeks ago. For the first 4 weeks I wore a one piece stage one Marena garment. After 4 weeks, I started to wear a stage 2 marena brief but I still have swelling. My question is how long does it take for the tissues to reattach itself to the stomach wall and if it is safe to just wear a light compression garment, now that I am going on 7 weeks post op. I am afraid of getting a seroma or bursa and don't want to hinder my healing.
