Should I wear an ab board after liposuction if I want a more natural result?

Question

I wanted to get liposuction 360 and use a 360 lipo foam and back board with my faja, but was wondering if I should use the frontal abb board if I wanted a more natural looking result. I do not want my stomach to be flat, just smaller and to add more shape than it has now. Is the abb boars for swelling or shaping the stomach ?

I perform several hundred liposuction procedures and BBLs each year, and I use a compression garment with three bands that can be serially tightened. Ab boards may be effective, but I do not use them for my patients. The plastic surgeon who is performing your lipo will have preferences; follow those as he or she will be monitoring your recovery.

Dear platerjada,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
