What To Expect After Your Tummy Tuck Procedure 

I agree! I’m 2 weeks post op. I’ve never heard anyone advise not to use compression garments.

Good luck on your recovery!!

I too am wearing compression garmet. Doctors are of opposing oppinions on RU-vid, but I follow my doctors orders.

​@@karenperry2730 I've heard some doctors on RU-vid say "no garmet/compression" after tummy tuck. I follow my doctors orders and am wearing one right now.

Same here garment helped alot

Our pleasure

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I’m 3 weeks post op and my doctor doesn’t recommend it either. Blood clots like dye said in this video.

First I heard of this too.. going in for mommy makeover next week and any research I did not one person said no garments? Odd

@@chiqueme2820 thanks for your input, since you didn't wear a garment, are you very happy with the results? thanks for sharing. I"m having mine done soon

Yikes two? I can’t imagine going through that twice.

Some surgeons use garments and some do not. Neither is wrong. It is surgeon preference. In our office, we use them for liposuction, but not for abdominoplasty.

Absolutely follow your surgeons instructions. We recommend lymphatic drainage massage 1 day after liposuction and 2-3 days after tummy tuck procedures.

You're gonna have to use pads and granny panties... my surgery is next week and I thought I was gonna be on mine but luckily I just got it this morning so I won't be .. but def gonna be a pain having to deal with a period while going thru this.. I didn't put into consideration my cycle when booking it lol

Thank u guys I was really concern about this part… am about to do mine n I think I might see my period on that day ooops 😅 really nerve rocking

@@barbeeshayknight1976 im glad.mine came 6 days before..cause after the surgery I was in so much pain dealing with the surgery can't imagine adding my period ontop of it..surgery alone is tsxing enough on ur body..also a raised toilet seat was one of my best purchases in my life ... best thing ever ..highly recommended!!!

I came on the day after my last surgery. I wore depends lol.

They don’t talk about the nasty side of these surgeries because they need customers to make their money.

Of course they don't, they want your money.

Any surgery has a risk of complications, even broken finger

While we have not seen this particular complication, nerve damage is usually temporary and will resolve with time.

This particular video is meant to let patients know what to expect during recovery. The risks of surgery are covered during the informed consent process which is at your pre-op visit 3 weeks before your procedure.

We include Exparel with every abdominoplasty procedure. It is broken down on the proposal, so you will see the $500 charge as part of your total cost for the procedure.

So sorry to hear your experience was brutal. We recommend lymphatic drainage massage starting just a few days after tummy tuck. This can help with swelling and speed up recovery.

Mzanzi? 😅
