My Doctor Does Not Use Compression Garments After a Tummy Tuck is This Safe/ok?

Thanks for your question.  Every surgeon has a routine which should reliably and reproducibly obtain a good result.  That being said, if you like the results your surgeon gets, then you should follow his/her advice.  I always use a binder after tummy tuck and girdles after liposuction.  I think they reduce pain, provide support, help contour, and reduce swelling.  The garments are supposed to be snug, not tight or constrictive.  I see patients often during their recovery and adjust and change their garments accordingly.  Good luck.

Thank you for your question. On the contrary, an abdominal binder can provide comfort and support after tummy tuck.  Most plastic surgeons use them but some don't. If you go forward with surgery, follow your surgeon's instructions, not the advice of others.
