Will these creases go away? (photo)

The abdominal binders are notorious for creases. These can lead to hyperpigmentation and scarring. Ask your surgeon for Reston foam and ointment (neosporin and later vitamin E) to reduce this problem. Good luck !

Thank you for your question! Once you remove the compression garments, and your swelling goes down, the creases should go away. In my practice I use special foam pads placed under the compression garments to help smooth the contour during the initial healing process. Please see your surgeon for specific post-op recommendations. If your surgeon is not board certified please seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in aesthetic and restorative body surgery.Good luck!Dr Schwartz

Dear zuleOnce teh pressure from the tube is removed your skin should come back to normal in hours. On occasion hyperpigmentation can be seen if there was too much pressure. I would not worry about it at all.

Hi. You can relax. It looks like you may have had lipo also. When you apply the garment just make surevthatbthendrian tubes come out the button and double up within the garment. Theses marks will absolutely go away. Good luck Dr PG

I have done hundreds of tummy tucks and body contouring procedures and have never seen a crease from a compression garment become permanent and I almost always use compression garments and they almost always leave creases.  Your drain will hopefully come out soon and if the compression garment is particularly uncomfortable or you are worried about the creases, ask your surgeon if it would be OK to switch to spanx instead, which usually leaves no creases.  But rest assured, the creases will resolve.  Best of luck with your recovery!
