I had TT a week ago and have been woken up the last few night by muscle spasms of the abdomen. I remember this also happening after the birth of my children. It seems to be the body's way of healing, or perhaps due to the increased stimulation and irritation. My concern is the integrity of the muscle repair. I am taking muscle relaxers to help. Should I allow the muscles to cramp? Will it "hurt" anything? I do plan on seeing my PS soon and discussing it. Thanks for your time.

If you are at a good weight for your body frame, then a tummy tuck could be considered. Consider having a physical and lab test to confirm that you are a good surgical candidate. Discuss your concerns and expectations with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes!
Hi Bikini M. Good question. I believe that the use of SCD's (sequential commpresion devices) is a must and madatory to try to prevent dvt (deep vein thrombosis) from forming. In fact putting them on and having them pump in the holding area prior to surgery reduces the chances even more. As far...
You may be allergic to the garment. Some patients are. To prevent irritation, try wearing a tight cotton shirt with no seams under your garment so that direct skin contact is prevented.
