Is it okay if I wear a sweat band around my waist while I exercise? Or should I wear the binder?

Question

I had abdominal, waste, hips and back lipo.

Thomas Trevisani, MD · Answer

This question is best answered by your surgeon. However, there is a purpose for the binder. It has a very specific construction and characteristics which are not present in a sweat band. I would again confer with your surgeon and follow his instructions. That said- I require my patients to wear a binder.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It is best to follow your doctors instructions. I usually have patients wear a compression garment for 3-6 weeks after lipo.
