Post-surgical girdles or compression garments are well recognized in the post-operative period of body surgeries due to their multiple benefits for the recovery stage and for the success of the final result.

These girdles are designed with special fabrics to achieve adequate compression to the body and help keep the tissues in place and accelerate the anti-inflammatory process.

Each patient must have their girdle with their specific size which will be placed after the operation. That is why Dr. Franklin Peña includes these garments for the recovery of his patients.

The postoperative girdle is designed with elastic fabrics, especially to exert adequate pressure on the operated area, without causing discomfort. Depending on the type of surgery (abdominoplasty or liposuction), the time of use and the evolution of the patient may vary, although they are generally recommended during the first 4 to 6 weeks.

Benefits of post-surgical girdles after abdominoplasty or liposuction:

• Reduces bruising: The accumulation of blood, liquids such as serum in the tissues can cause risks inherent to body surgeries such as liposuction, abdominoplasty or gynecomastia. The pressure exerted by the girdle during the first few days helps the body reduce the appearance of bruises or bruises.
• Less possibility of infections: As fluids accumulate in the intervention areas, the risk of superinfection decreases.
• Decreases recovery time: The compression exerted by post-operative garments increases and optimizes blood and lymphatic circulation, reducing fluid retention. When fluid retention occurs in the patient, it can increase the risk of skin lumps or fibrosis, which increases recovery time.

In any of the body surgeries, the purpose of the girdle is to contain the tissues and contribute to the recovery process, accelerating the anti-inflammatory process and helping the patient to recover without experiencing pain.

Many times we refer to Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck only as the surgery that corrects sagging abdomen at the aesthetic level. Ignoring that it is a procedure that improves the patient’s quality of life, especially after pregnancy.

Tummy tuck or Abdominoplasty is the procedure that helps to link the muscles of the abdomen, and as a result you get a more slender and flat abdomen.

Is it necessary to have a tummy tuck?

After achieving a significant weight reduction, as a result of a bariatric or after experiencing one or several pregnancies, the abdominal abdomen may suffer a separation of the rectus abdominis muscles. In the case of pregnancies they separate forming a hernia; This is why in each pregnancy the abdomen can distend.

Medical benefits of tummy tuck

Reduction of urinary incontinence
After childbirth, many women have urinary incontinence due to the effort made during the birth process. This lack of control in a bladder is related to leaking urine in uncomfortable situations such as sneezing, coughing, exercise or laughing very hard.

Improves abdominal tone and posture
When you have lost a lot of weight or after multiple pregnancies, you can gain extra volume in the muscles of the abdomen. So diet and exercise are often not enough to correct it.

Hernia Correction
After a massive loss of weight, the abdominal muscle can weaken and the product of this can cause hernia in the lower back. Tummy tuck corrects this weakness, in addition to combating excess excess skin.

It should be borne in mind that tummy tuck surgery is an important surgery, and that it requires several hours of surgery in the operating room.
