I had a mommy makeover 8/4/14 - BA, TT, MR, lipo of flanks/inner thighs and I've been wearing support bras, compression garments, spanx, binders, etc, almost 24/7... taking them off only to wash or do laundry. I'm starting to feel like a constricted sausage. :/

Answer: Support garments after Mommy Makeover I recommend that my patients wear the compression garments for 6 weeks to aid with the swelling. Many actually feel "safer" and more comfortable with them on. Others, like you, feel like a "constricted sausage". These garments are typically bulky and constricting. If they become too bothersome, I usually switch my patients out to a spandex type garment, so that they will at least wear something. Discuss options with your surgeon. Good Luck.

Answer: Compression Garments After Mommy Makeover Surgery I have my patients wear their compression garments from 4 to 6 weeks. I know that it is quite cumbersome and not that comfortable, but for the best result you should continue as you are doing until your surgeon says otherwise you will be glad you did. Good luck
