Compression stockings after tummy tuck
Just had an email back from my surgeon, he’s not too concerned about the swelling after tummy tuck, he is confident it is damage to the lymph channels from the tummy tuck surgery and that some are functioning because it is draining with elevation and rest. He’s suggested full length compression stockings from a physio as the compression pants won’t help. So will go see how they’ll cost and decide whether I’ll use them or just ride it out
Well that’s some good news that his not concerned can you use your stockings from the hospital for now
Yeah that’s what I’ll do for now but if I can get ones that aren’t white and can maybe be worn like ordinary stockings for work I’ll give them a go… But not paying too much for them
That’s good to hear, hopefully you find some in-expensive stockings
How’s ur arms Tracy
Arms are all good Loren, have to wear the tubigrip every now and then when they start aching a bit but overall no issues with them
I’ve been using mepiform
It’s amazing stuff
Wow your arms look fantastic! Where do you get mepiform? Is it tubular ?
No it’s a silicone scar sheet
It’s great independence store australia
Ahh ok..will have a look, although my scars are healing up nicely, I think I’m lucky I seem to heal really well
Mine are healing well but I heard about mepiform and will do anything to make them lighter n flatter
Good to hear everythings all normal
Yeah I think I might give it a try…..I had a massage last night mostly on my legs but a little on back and arms too, wow my legs just feel amazing this morning and the swelling in thighs has gone down quite a bit and while my foot is still swollen it’s not cold and achy! Booked another for 2 weeks time and hoping they will help get things moving a bit better
What type of massage did you have tracy
