Would you recommend a wound vac for recovery after a tummy tuck?

Asked By:ruralmama in Seattle, WA

Vacuum-assisted closure of a wound is a type of therapy to help wounds heal. It's also known as wound VAC. I had a wound vac after my cesarean and it helps heal the wound faster. Is the tummy tuck incision similar to the bikini cesarean incision and would you recommend the same wound vac application?
