I see that the compression garments tend to have an open crotch, which their website FAQs says is for easier bathroom use after surgery. The convenience of this is appealing, but women’s urinary streams aren’t always straight like men’s, meaning a little bit of urine can end up on your legs and buttocks, meaning they would get on this part of your compression garment. Is this sanitary concern after a full tummy tuck? Just trying to make sure.
Answer: Compression garment The opening in the compression garment has not caused issues in the past. It is typically a good distance away from incisions. Some patients elect to purchase 2 garments so that one can be already laundered if the other becomes soiled.

Answer: Is the open crotch of a Marena Compression garment a concern for bacterial travel after a tummy tuck surgery? Hello, thank you for your question. This should not be a problem since is not close to your incisions. I like to use an abdominal binder with Velcro straps.

Answer: Is the open crotch of a Marena Compression garment a concern for bacterial travel after a tummy tuck surgery? Thank you for sharing your question. In most cases this is not an issue as it is not around your incisions and because urine is sterile. That said some patients elect to enlarge the opening or they urinate standing upright in a shower depending on their comfort level after surgery.
