After undergoing a tummy tuck, you will likely not need something as aggressive as a waist cincher. Check with your surgeon to see what type of compression garment they recommend and for how long.
If you were provided a post-procedure #garment, be sure you are wearing it until prescribed otherwise by your doctor. The purpose of the post-procedure #garment is to provide some gentle #support and to reduce swelling. If it feels too tight or causes pain, take it off. Many patients wear the #elastic garment for several weeks after procedures, as directed by their doctor; some choose to wear it longer for several months for comfort.The #healing process make take at least 3-4 months until you see your final results. I suggest you contact your surgeon or their medical staff and further inquire. At any time, you have any concerns about your healing or recovery, it's best to contact your plastic surgeon sooner than later, to prevent any possible infections or #healing complications.
Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well. I recommend you to wait at least one month to have it
That is a question better asked of your surgeon. He/she knows exactly what was done during your surgery and how your recovery is progressing. I would think it would also depend on "how" it fits. Smooth distribution over the entire area of surgery/swelling would be far preferable to something shorter or les even in pressure.

Thank you for your question. We generally encourage some degree of compression after TT, but I don't apply it right away because I want to maximize the blood supply & circulation to the edges of the wound. I would ask your surgeon for his/her advice on the timing of that. Then, find something that is reasonably comfortable. Best wishes.
Dear mb7011, numbness of the arms after surgery is not infrequent. It happens mostly in long cases or in cases where the positioning of the patient requires changes or forced positions. In these situations the arms maybe subjected to abnormal pressure or stretching causing nerve...
Hi. They are not really 'surgical' terms. The classic adominoplasty is described as 'radical' in the medicare schedule to differentiate it from simple wedge excisions of abdominal aprons. Most plastic surgeons wouldnt call it radical. There are basically 3 types of TT- Mini, standard and fleur...
You should definitely pose this question to your plastic surgeon and follow her/his advice.It is highly recommended that any infection be completely resolved before proceeding with elective procedures such as a tummy tuck in order to minimize the potential for complications.
