I'm 15 yrs post-op from bariatric surgery.  Had a round of plastic surgeries back then following the weight loss.  But now 12 yrs later many of the plastic surgeries need to be redone (aging, loss of skin elasticity, etc).  Lots has changed in the field of plastic surgery in the past 10-15 yrs.  I'm looking to connect with people in the Toronto area who have had or currently undergoing or planning plastic surgeries.  Also, wondering if anyone has compression garments they no longer need that they'd like to swap or sell.

Hi koremins, I underwent a tummy tuck surgery last month in a clinic in Toronto (which is also nearby my home) As per my surgeon Dr. Robert Backstein’s advice, I’m using the compression garment. But I don’t know how long I will have to wear it. I forgot to ask him about it during his last follow-up call. Anyway, I will ask him today and will let you know if I can stop using it.

Most surgeons say 4-6 weeks to wear the garment but you can wear it longer if you need to.

I also remember reading that it's only if you have muscle repair, but some surgeons make you wear a garment no matter what type of tummy tuck you got.
