I had smart lipo which left me disappointed with the results. I the hourglass silhouette. I don't wear the latex cinchers that the Kardashians promote rather an authentic handmade corset. I'm having a full tummy tuck, lipo, and a bbl in November. I'd like to know when I can resume wearing my corset. The corset is handmade, durable coutil (corset) fabric, 24 flat and spiral steel bones designed, with a high back, cut not to rest on my hips or butt after surgery. Similar to the one in the picture.

Answer: Corset after surgery We often have our patients wear a compression garment after surgery (known as a faja). The ones we use don't have steel bones in them, however. There could be some concern about how much pressure is placed on the skin afterwards. Compression garments in general are favored; they don't necessarily have to have steel in them to make them work. It is best to discuss the optimal time with your surgeon.

Answer: Tummy Tuck/Abdominoplasty/Liposuction/Vaser High Definition Procedures/Tummy Tuck Revision I appreciate your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon
