I was told to roll up a wash cloth and put in in the middle of stomach halfway above and below the belly button then put the binder on! Any ideas as to why? I feel it is making a dent in the middle of my stomach. Responses appreciated.

Answer: Binders after tummy tucks are used routinely by all but some like to put foam or other products under the binder to give a more uniform compression. If you feel it is impacting your results in a bad way, you should ask your surgeon for clarification as to why you were told to do that.

Answer: Tummy tuck - Binder Dear, LorgiaEach plastic surgeon can differ in his/her surgical technique and post-op protocol.I advise my patients to wear binder/compression garment; however, I do not ask my patients to place a roll up wash cloth underneath. Perhaps, you plastic surgeon want you to have a dent in the middle as an added compression? It would be best to ask your plastic surgeon for the reasoning.Good luck with your recovery.
