Why do I need a compression garment after abdominoplasty?

Answer by  VCraig (88)

A compression garment to the abdomen is best for reasons of comfort and pain control. Also the garment will provide support for the weakened abdominal muscles until those muscles are strong enough again and the wound has healed enough to prevent the wound from reopening and prevention of surgery complications.
