Thanks for the inputs! I'm looking forward to wearing a body shaper ASAP so that whatever excess fat can hardly hang! Thank s so excited!

Hi, this is the first time I've heard of wearing a body shaper after surgery. Does this help with skin issues later?

I havent heard of this either. A waist trainer is tight-right?! That would reallly irritate all the incisions. Maybe after 3 months but not right away.

Hi, yes it has been said that after any type of abdominal surgery is to to wear those nights tight grandma panties to hold the incisiones and also yout stomach from any type of pain!

A lot of plastic surgeon when they do a tummy tuck or lipo strap you in one of these ASAP! It hold your stomach in and avoid hanging

Yes correct a waist trainer is tight, I ask my doctor he said after a couple of weeks I can get into one as long as I don't feel no discomfort! And it helps as a form of molding into hour shape glass!
