I’m 15 days post op on flanks, back, and abdomen. Compression garment is helping firm my curves but has created this line Garment is tight but not uncomfortable. Any suggestions?

Answer: Line post-trunk surgery Dear Julie, many thanks for your question It is not uncommon for the swelling of the soft tissues to manifest themselves with creases and lines after surgery as a result of th combination of swelling and the compression garments and/or abdominal binder (band). One thing that I advise my patients to purchase and wear is a sponge pad to wear under the compression garment to try to prevent the creasing of the skin with the overlying garment. Then I use is the KPad from Lipoelastic. Manual lymphatic drainage is also an option. I wish you well, and congratulations on your recent surgery. Best wishes, Marcus
