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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
