Just wondering if the pressure from the compression garment or binder can cause a seperation or split in the midline of your abs like pregnancy or weight gain
Answer: Tummy Tuck Binder Hello Forever Young,No, a tight binder would not cause diastasis recti. The pressure of a binder would reduce the tension in this fascial layer and is one of the reasons they are used after tummy tuck. Weight gain or pregnancy causes pressure from the inside out and stretches the fascial cover of the abdomen.A caution regarding wearing binders too tight. The purpose of the binder is to provide ligh support if the tissues. They should not be pulled too tight as this can impede blood flow in the abdominal skin flap and cause tissue necrosis.Thank you for your question.

Answer: Compression after TT Thank you for your question. The pressure from a compression garment or binder will not cause a separation or split in the midline of your abs such as pregnancy or weight gain. The CG or Binder should gently and supportively hold you together internally. Be careful that the CG or Binder are not too tight. It is best to have your CG and binder checked by your PS to ensure it is applied at just the right amount of pressure. Best wishes to you!#binder #compressiongarment #damage

Answer: Not possible The only way it could cause separation or damage your results is if the compression garment were to pull your muscles apart, which would be pretty much impossible since it’s worn around your mid-section, applying pressure inwardly.

Answer: Binder questions The abdominal binder can be very helpful for swelling and discomfort after a tummy tuck. It is unlikely that it would be so tight as to cause any damage. The key to the binder is wearing it snug not overly tight. If it is hard to breathe or move it is probably too tight. I tell patients they should be able to slide a few fingers between the binder and the skin without difficulty. The muscle repairs are pretty durable and it's unlikely you would do anything to break the sutures

Answer: Tummy tuck and binders Thanks for this question.There are many good reasons to wear a binder after a tummy tuck. One of the main reasons is to protect the diastasis repair. I can't think of a way in which wearing the binder would cause a diastasis rectus to occur or get worse.
