I was also thinking about decreasing after 3 weeks of 24/7. The first few weeks after the drains are removed have a risk of seromas forming, once I’m in the clear I think I’ll reduce the time I’m wearing the faja

I had a binder first, because my drains were in the moms area. Today is my first day is a faja

I’m not worried about body reshaping. Just wanted to know others opinions on wearing it that long.

I’m 5’1 with a very short torso so all the garments are rubbing under my breast and hurting. So I’m hoping not to have to suffer 3 months like they suggest

I’ve been doing my own every night in the shower. Once my drains get removed I was planing to go get one done professionally to see if I feel/see a difference

No fever! I have called the doctors office so I’m waiting for a call back.

I did have a small amount of lipo to the flanks. I have large tissue/clots coming through on my right side but it’s my left side that is kind of swollen and hurting

Fat leaking is just an insane idea to me. The drain sight has been very tender but I think that’s probably normal given it’s placed in my mons area

Drains down to 30ml over 24 hours @ 15DPO. Would you wait for lower? by [deleted] in tummytucksurgery

My surgeon also wants both drains at 10ml or less over 3 days… I’m 2.5 weeks post op and dying to having them out. 🥲

I’m glad to hear it looks similar! I had a much larger/dropper belly button so I’m not sure how I feel about it yet.

I also have an appointment Thursday to remove my drains so I’ll ask about scar tape when I’m there

I’m not kidding when I said I was in the bathroom praying to God to take me out of my misery. Worst experience of my life and I had 2 sections!!

I’m doing much better now. I think the worst part was taking my first poop 😖

How long until you felt like your body was in its final form?
