The Importance of wearing shapewear after surgery

After every surgical procedure you’ll need the proper support to heal, as your body process and evolve with a new shape.

The importance of wearing shapewear in the healing process is vital for the success of your surgical procedure.  Among all the surgical operations, there is one that is the most aggressive, so take notes if you are thinking in or planning for cosmetic surgery.

Tummy tuck surgery is one of the more aggressive body contouring procedures performed by plastic and cosmetic surgeons around the world. To get the best possible results from your procedure, you will need to wear compression garments after tummy tuck surgery for at least six to eight weeks during the post-op phase. The length of time you should wear this garment will depend on several factors, and your surgeon will provide you with a complete post-op recovery plan.

Here is a closer look at how long you may need to wear compression garments after tummy tuck surgery:

Recovering From Tummy Tuck Surgery With the Best Results

Most patients are fitted with drains that are removed between one to two weeks after surgery, depending on the patient. At this time, you may be required to wear a compression garment to minimize some of the swelling and fluid buildup around the abdomen. Some doctors recommend wearing an abdominal binder for comfort instead of a full-body compression garment. The girdle is easy to wear under clothes and provides some compression of the abdomen. You’ll need some form of compression for up to six weeks or more after your procedure.

While some surgeons recommend wearing the garment while you sleep and throughout the day, others recommend wearing it for the majority of the day (ten or more hours) and while participating in any form of exercise or doing other physical activities. You may find it easier to move around and even do some forms of light exercise when wearing a compression garment.

Benefits of Wearing Compression Garments After Tummy Tuck Surgery

Compression garments after tummy tuck surgery can reduce patient discomfort and also help control swelling and fluid retention, which are common after surgery. The first few weeks of recovery are a critical time, since the tissues are shifting and conforming to your new shape. Overall, compression garments can support the healing and recovery process, promote healthy blood circulation, and may increase the chances of better results after a body contouring procedure.
