I plan to ask my surgeon at my 2 week follow up (I am currently 10 days post op fleur de lis and healing well) but am curious of the opinions of other surgeons. The binder I was provided with is great but also fairly bulky under my clothes. Is there a difference between the binder provided and a more discreet waist trainer? Would you allow your patients to wear the trainer instead? When purchasing the trainer I ordered it to fit my swollen abdomen and isn't too tight. The pressure feels similar.
