thetruedream 54 Posted August 15, 2012 Hi ladies.!!! How soon can you use a body shaper after surhery? I know you need to let your incisions heal before wearing something tight, but when will it be a good time to start wearing one.? Thank you !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted August 15, 2012 I'd guess something in the neighborhood of 6 weeks - since that's when most restrictions clear - with the caveat of "as tolerated". I brought my Spanx back around week 12. They hurt a bit still before then. Generically I'd say "call your surgeon" but I suspect this is a bit out of their expertise.

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted August 19, 2012 I woke up from surgery wearing one of those stomach binder things. Doc told me to wear it for 4 days. It was basically like a big stretchy stomach holder in thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pattivalvo 23 Posted August 19, 2012 Is this suppose to help w skin sagging? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sr910 55 Posted August 19, 2012 Is this suppose to help w skin sagging? No one really knows if it helps, but my theory is that it will *guide* the skin to stick close to the body as you shrink. It's worth a shot... plus tons of moisturizer and exercise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
