when can i wear a waist trainer after tummy tuck?

When can i wear a waist trainer after tummy tuck?

Dr. Raajshri Gupta

Answered on 23rd May '24

After tummy tuck you are provided with a specialised medical grade garment which has to be worn for a few months. You do not need any other material. This garment helps in maintaining shape, decreasing pain, preventing fluid collection under stitch line of tummy tuck.

The time frame for wearing a waist trainer post a tummy tuck operation may differ according to an individual’s healing and advice of your surgeon. Usually patients are told to wait until they have recovered well enough from the surgery which may take several weeks. It’s important to rely on your surgeon regarding when you should return to activity such as wearing compression garments in order not too disturb the healing process. With your surgeon’s approval, a compression garment or waist trainer can give support, reduce swelling and encourage proper contouring.

What is the healing process after Plastic Surgery?

Other | 27

When the body is injured or broken the proper healing is due to the body itself making itself healthy again. There could be a slight bruising that you might experience which is, in fact, a usual condition and should wear off in time. The performance of the surgery is dependent on your cooperation with the doctor. Thus, you must abide by the directives given to a T by your doctor. It is principally of high importance to the individual to have a good portion of time devoted to rest, to the intake of foods that are of high nutritional value, and to the avoidance of physically demanding activities as recommended. If you happen to see any rare signs, or you have some doubts, do not be afraid to let your doctor know about it so he can guide you through the whole process.

Why do I have breasts even when I am a man it's been 2 years and it's not going iam not able to wear t-shirts and I feel ashamed and iam not even that overweight

Male | 18

The condition of breast enlargement in men is called gynecomastia. It can be due to hormonal changes, medications or health conditions. It is advised that a plastic surgeon should be consulted for further evaluation and management. Do not medicate yourself, or take nonprescription medications without consulting a doctor.

Which laser treatment to opt for curing Pilonidal Sinus?

Diode laser treatment is required for Pilonidal Sinus. Actually Pilonidal Sinus can be treated surgically only. The cavity needs to be removed surgically otherwise the problem will reoccur. After the surgery has been done a diode laser will clear the hairs over the back portion and that will result into complete remission

Hi. I am 46 years old mother of 2 children aged 13 and 4yrs. In September 2021 I got liposuction and tummy tuck done. After 6 weeks of wearing the prescribed compression garments and daily massages post surgery, I started noticing big, hard eruptions on my stomach area. Some are red and some are very painful. The doctor punctured one of the eruptions to see if any fluid came out but it did not. He then ask me to use Tbac and put me on anti inflammatory medicine+ flexon. Then one day from the eruption i noticed a pus like fluid. Went to the doctor again. A pus culture was done. No bacteria found. Doctor said looks like it is a suture issue with my body not being able to get rid of the dissolvable stitches. He gave me tricort injections on the hard lumps. Now almost 3 weeks later, some are better but new large and painful ones have also formed. Please advise your thoughts on this and what you feel could be wrong. I am very worried.
