Hello ! I'm almost a month post op from my bbl. just wondering when is it safe to begin using a waist trainer/cincher after lipo ? I'll be switching from my compression garment & foams to a soft spanks like garment with a waist trainer over it. Just don't want to do any harm.

Answer: Waist training after BBL Excellent question!!!If you were my patient, I would recommend additional pressure under the garment with lipo-foam day 4 after surgery, and additional pressure over the garment the second week.Additional pressure over the post surgical garment would include: a waist shaper over the garment, a new smaller size garment, or a tailored existing garment. I would resize every week to keep up with the decreased swelling.The goal is to keep consistant tight pressure over the waistline and all of the liposuction areas to reduce edema and swelling deformities such as rolls, asymmetrical skin folds, seromas, etc.Hope this helps your recovery. And I wish you well in your recovery!Dr McAdoo
