How Long Should You Wear Compression Garment and Support Bra for Mommy Makeover?

This varies on each surgeon, so it can be anywhere from two weeks to a couple of months. Some surgeons don't even recommend compression garments, and prefer patients wear a sports bra instead.Please ask your surgeon what they would like for you.

Compression garments and abdominal binders are frequently
used following Mommy Makeover surgery for several reasons.These devices provide compression which
reduces swelling, increases comfort and minimizes the potential for seroma
formation. I
generally tell my patients to use compression garments and binders for 3 weeks
following surgery.When drains are used,
we continue the use of binders for longer periods of time.It’s interesting to note that when we
discontinue the use of these devices, many patients continue to wear them.They feel that the extra support makes them
feel more comfortable during activity.

Thank you for your question. Usually, a 6-8 week period is good, and some need or want to wear it longer. Everyone is different, and you will know what your needs are. I hope this helps.
