How Can I Relieve Binder Pain on Incision?

April 16, 2012
Asked By:denvermama36 in Denver, CO

I had a TT and hip/flanks lipo seven days ago. I have to wear the binder garment for another three weeks, but it's quite painful on my incision. The velcro seems to pull on the tape and it gets bunched up. Is there something I can put on my skin between the binder? cotton pads or something?
