We recommend that you wear an abdominal binder compression garment for 6 weeks following
your surgery, removing the garment only for bathing. You must wear the compression garment
provided by the facility until Dr Zochowski advises that you may transition to a garment with
less compression.
Most patients find that a spandex or Lycra waist and tummy shaping garment is most
comfortable to wear when cleared to discard the abdominal binder. Whatever you choose, it
should be easy and comfortable for you to put on and remove.
