Breast Reduction and Tummy Tuck

[Guest guest]

Finally bit the bullet and got scheduled for a breast reduction and

tummy tuck Jan. 22, 2003. Can anyone tell me how long you wore

compression garments after your surgery and what the best kind are to

use?

Thanks,

- check with your surgeon for his instructions. My surgeon did not

have me use any compression garments at all with my abdominoplasty, hernia

repair, and breast lift.

The different doctors have different recommendations as to what you need in

your case. My doctor sent me home without any binder because I had an

inverted T and he didn't want blood flow compromised at the point at the

bottom where the corners met. If there's much lipo, they usually like to

compress a lot.

Funny, Indeed, because I also had the inverted " T " and my PS sent me

home in a binder to be worn for four weeks. But, he did not want oe

to wear one of the Marena compression garments for the same reason

that Dave wrote about the binder: he thought that it might compromise

the blood flow at the T-junction. It's not an exact science, by any

stretch of the imagination. But, you pay the doc big bucks, and

you'd be foolish not to follos the doc's advice.
