The recovery period has a decisive impact on your appearance for years to come. To ensure that your body receives the best support, A lap belt should be used. As an integral part of the healing and recovery process in the postoperative period.

Wearing a belly belt after surgery – all the benefits

Have you had abdominal surgery? A tummy tuck is a must and is recommended by many plastic surgeons around the world as an integral part of the post-surgery period.

Improving blood circulation – The abdominal belt was developed to encourage proper blood flow even in the days following surgery, when you will be resting most of the time. Wearing the belt helps with good blood flow and reduces the risk of blood clots, thus contributing greatly to the body's recovery and the healing of damaged skin tissues and scars that have formed following surgery.

Infection prevention – Wearing a belly belt correctly and in accordance with the instructions of the attending physician in the days following surgery helps significantly reduce the risk of seroma. This is a particularly common condition after abdominal surgery, in which fluid accumulates under the skin. The belly belt exerts constant and uniform pressure on the abdominal area, this pressure compresses the tissues and swelling inward, thus actually contributing to the drainage of fluids and a significant dilution of fluid accumulation.

Reducing the risk of hemorrhage – After abdominal surgery, there is a high chance of ongoing bleeding, due to the removal of excess skin and the surgical procedure that the area undergoes. This procedure may cause a hematoma – a condition of internal bleeding caused by blood leaking from blood vessels. Wearing a belly belt during the weeks following surgery helps reduce the risk of developing hemorrhages and bruises in the area.

Pain relief – Wearing the belt allows for significant relief from pain during the day thanks to constant pressure on the surgical area, which encourages a faster healing process. 

It is important to consider that in order to enjoy maximum results, you must wear the abdominal belt during the first three weeks after surgery, during all hours of the day, including during the night. Here are all the benefits of the abdominal belt as a necessary part of the recovery process:

All the ways to heal in the best way

Tummy tuck surgery It is a medical procedure that is accompanied by a number of side effects, including a feeling of numbness and numb skin in the abdominal area, a phenomenon that is expected to pass after a few days. The surgery is expected to leave a scar in the lower abdomen, which is a relatively hidden area. The length of the scar is determined by the size of the skin tissue that must be removed during the surgery.

  • If you want to shorten the recovery period and return to your daily routine in the fastest and best way, here are a number of important points in the recovery process after tummy tuck surgery:
    Maintaining hygiene – As after any surgery, maintaining hygiene in the area where the procedure was performed in the days following is critical in preventing infections and complications. It is important that you maintain a clean environment to prevent the surgical area from becoming contaminated. To do this, it is recommended to shower at least once a day. During the shower, the surgical area should be washed according to the instructions you received from your treating physician. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly before any contact with the area around the surgical wounds, and you can even use medical gloves to reduce the risk of exposure to bacteria. It is also recommended to change towels, clothes, and bedding frequently to maintain a sterile environment as much as possible. If you usually sleep with a pet at home, you should avoid this for the first few days after surgery.
  • When coughing, laughing, or sneezing, it is recommended to support the abdominal muscles with your hands to minimize the tension caused, which may be accompanied by pain.
  • Taking painkillers – If you are experiencing intense pain, you can take painkillers that will relieve the pain during the first few days after surgery.
  • Staying active – During the first 3-4 days after surgery, you will need to rest completely to allow the area to heal. Immediately afterward, it is important to stay active to encourage good blood flow to the surgical area and prevent thrombosis and other complications. It is important to stay active but avoid lying down for long periods of time.
  • Drink plenty of water – Make sure to drink enough water throughout the day to encourage better blood circulation.
