When can I start wearing a waist trainer after surgery? (Photo)

Sexybodyback905Jan 7, 2017
When can you start wearing a waist trainer? I'm loving my results, still swollen. I'm 4 months post op, my waist is 29 inches, booty is 46 1/2 inches. My waist has stopped at 29 inches, my booty only went down 1/2 inch. When can I start wearing a waist cincher. I'm also still wearing my garment for compression. I know it can take up to a year for the swelling to go down. I'm very patient, watch out summer.

Thank you for your question.  Fat injection into the muscle used to be very common but there is evidence of increased risk of fat embolism so I don't inject into the muscle anymore.  I have been in practice for 18 years and do not see a big difference in fat survival, so in my opinion, it's n...
