What kind of garment will I need after mommy makeover?

Thank you for your question regarding post-operative garment. The type of compression you need depends on which procedures you are having. Your plastic surgeon will take measurements and fit you for the appropriate post-op compression garment. I prefer the Marena brand, but your surgeon may have a different preference. Hope this helps!

The best garment all depends on what is performed during your mommy makeover. Your surgeon will let you know which garment(s) to wear. Typically, some kind of compression garment is recommended in the event a tummy tuck or liposuction is performed.

Compression garments can be useful after a Mommy Makeover. They help to manage swelling and provide support to healing tissues. Your surgeon will advise the appropriate type of compression needed for your surgery. There are many companies that are available. The key to proper compression is the fit. It should fit snugly but not be uncomfortable.

A mommy makeover consists of an abdominoplasty, usually with liposuction, and a breast enlargement or lift.  I measure patients prior to surgery, and provide compression garments at the time of surgery.  An abdominal binder, or compression garment is required.  Depending on what is done to your breasts, either a sports bra or vest should be worn.  Your surgeon should help you find the correct garments.

I know that the garments I use on patients in post-op healing will depend on the different procedures that are completed and the incisions that are used. If you have any concerns about the type of garment that your surgeon will be using, don't hesitate to contact him directly prior to surgery in order to make sure that you are comfortable with the way things will proceed. Good luck

Thank you for your question.  I would recommend reaching out to your surgeon's office to discuss the appropriate garment for you based on your anticipated mommy makeover procedures.
