Can I use Gaffer's tape to hold the skin in place before placing garment?

May 5, 2019
Asked By:braidedchai in Miami, FL

I had surgery 4 weeks ago. There are previous scars on my abdomen from other surgeries. The Doctor suggested I pull the skin up as I fasten my compression garment, but it slides back down and leaves deep creasing in the scars by the end of the day. Previous apendectomy, tumor with partial small intestine removal, and 2x pseudocyst removal 22-24 cm. Age 40
