Answer: Wearing a garment after surgery I actually recommend that you wear the garment day and night for three weeks or so after your surgery. Your results look great!

Answer: Compression Garments Following your Mommy Makeover The purpose of the post-procedure #garment is to provide some gentle #support and to reduce swelling following a #TummyTuck or #Abdominoplasty. If it feels too tight or causes pain, take it off. Patients wear the #elastic garment for several weeks after surgery, as directed by their doctor. Some choose to wear it longer for several months for comfort. If you have concerns about your #healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined.

Answer: Should I Sleep in my Compression Garment? Yes, it is definitely okay to sleep in your garment. I advise my patients to continuously wear the garment for 6 weeks, only coming off for brief periods such as showering or bathing. From 6 weeks, I am happy for my patients to no longer wear the garment. Many patients choose to continue wearing the garment beyond 6 weeks as it helps to control the longer term swelling and provides some degree of support and comfort.

Answer: Compression not required past 3 weeks... Compression garments and abdominal binders are frequently used following abdominoplasty for several reasons.These devices provide compression, which reduces swelling, increases comfort and minimizes the potential for seroma formation.I generally tell my patients to use a binder for three weeks following surgery.When drains are used, we continue the use of the binder for longer periods of time.It’s interesting to note that when we discontinue the binder, many patients continue to wear it.They feel that the extra support makes them feel more comfortable when they sleep.

Answer: Wearing your tummy tuck compression garment I would ask your surgeon about how long you should be wearing your compression garment. It certainly helps the recovery process.
