Waist trainers post plastics



Recommended Posts

Ask your surgeon

You will wear compression garments post op but waist training is way more extreme. The extent of my knowledge is someone in a private FB group I am in was committed to waist training and has in fact had post plastics complications. My sample of one tells me not such a great idea.

I've seen the commercial for those things many times. It's the name, "...trainer," that gets me. It smacks of "Story of O."

Also Barbie's "natural-born" shape during her earlier days, although I don't quite see the difference since she was supposedly redesigned not to give little girls distorted ideas of women's bodies.

I'll omit my opinion on the aesthetics, as it's just mine.

I'm not sure about a waist trainer.Did you have surgery yet? You may find that after surgery and you heal, that you might not feel the need to use one because you will have the shape you are looking for.

I did wear an ab binder for several months post op - probably 5 months. My surgeon told me the longer I can put up with wearing it, the better the results. For several months I couldn't imagine going without it because it just gave me more support. I've considered a waist trainer now that I'm a bit further out, but honestly, with the Lipo on my waist that he did with the TT I don't really think there is much of a need for it. You can see the nice curves he gave me in my blog (linked below) if you're interested. He did an awesome job. :-)

Yes ive had a full body lift. And i do use spankx and my binder depends on the clothing i wear. But i was just wondering.

Ahh...I see.

Not sure if you all realize but waist training is severe and actually changes your shape internally...this isn't about smooshing skin. This is what tranny guys do, it is what Victorian era rich women did. I encourage you to really research this. Compression garments are great, but this is a big step.

That's right ... people who sell waist trainers will NOT post anything bad about them.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
