One week into tummy tuck surgery and my binder keeps sticking to my stitches on the left side. What can I do?

Any clean barrier between your binder and stitches would work such as a t shirt worn under the binder or feminine napkins over the area if there is drainage.  Non adherent gauze (Telfa) can work as well.

Hello, always default to your PS recommendations. ...but a few easy options include placing a clean gauze dressing over your incision in between your binder and the wound. If you are still draining fluid from the incision, then a non-stick dressing would be more favorable. If you don't have a non stick dressing...you can coat one side of a clean gauze with neosporin or triple antibiotic ointment and use that as your non stick dressing. Good Luck.

Hi Toya28450,I suggest you seek counsel from your CS so you will be following his or her post-op treatment plan. There are nonstick dressings which can be helpful in your situation, but again, check with your CS. All of the best to you and your recovery!#stitches #stickingtobinder #oneweekpostop
