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: Tummy Tuck - Binder I'm not sure why your surgeon asked you to do this. It is always best to clarify with your chosen surgeon.

Answer: Use of a rolled towel in addition to abdominal binder If you feel that this modification of your Binder is causing problems or if you do not understand the reason for its use, I would strongly suggest you discuss the matter with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Binder Every surgeon has his or her own post op protocol so your surgeon would be best equipped to answer this. However, my guess is that it is to ensure uniform healing. But if you feel as if it's making dents, you need to share this information with your surgeon. Best, Dr. Nazarian

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.
