Hello, thank you for your question. In my opinion, if you move slowly and carefully, you should be ok. You need to make sure you do not lift or strain. Those movements can cause problems. Best Wishes!#TT  #Binder  #twistmotion

Twisting to put on your binder should not in any way affect your tummy tuck results. Wearing your binder is crucial to your recovery. You do want to stay away from any lifting and/or core exercises/strain. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Thank you for your question.  If you find it very difficult to put on your binder, perhaps it is too tight?  It is difficult to understand the issue based on a description alone, so this is something you should mention to your PS.

Hi and thanks for the question. Minor twisting of your torso should not be a problem after tummy tuck. Heavy lifting and activities that put a stress on your abdominal muscles can cause injury and should be avoided. Best of luck with your result...

Dear Shawn, Congratulations on having your tummy tuck 11 days ago! Simply twisting while putting on your abdominal binder should not affect your tummy tuck results. Please avoid straining and lifting anything heavy for the first 6 weeks following a tummy tuck. Best wishes, Dr. Richard Swift
