Answer: Use of Abdominal Board After TT These may be effective, but I do not use them for my patients. I do think a well fitting compression garment does help as well. The plastic surgeon who is performing your TT and lipo will have preferences; follow those as he or she will be monitoring your recovery.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Abdominal board after tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is reasonable to use an abdominal board after your tummy tuck, but you should wait until you are completely healed before you use it. I suggest at least 3 weeks from the time of surgery. Of course, you will need an in-person consultation to evaluate you for this procedure. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. Any treatment plan should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
