4 Weeks Post-op - Should I Still Be Wearing Padding Between my Binder and Scar?

January 15, 2012
Asked By:Suzy4 in Ottawa, Ontario

I am still wearing padding (combine ABD Pad) between my biinder (which is rough) and my scar. How long I should do this for and could this be causing the swelling in my belly? I am still very bloated above the cut-line. I find my binder very rough and am not sure what else I could put between the scar and binder to protect it? Thank you.
