Is foam on the abdomen area required if you got a tummy tuck, or just sides and back if you got lipo 360 as well ?
I give it to all my tummy tuck clients.
How do you clean the foams, and should I wear the foam over the tank top or skin?
wear tank top next to skin, then foam. foam can be hand washed
How long after a tummy tuck can you usually wear this kind of foams?
Please please get a referral from your surgeon for lymphatic massage and ask your lymphatic massage therapist for advice on your compression. I usually start foam at the first visit
Hello.. How soon can you use the foam and board after lipo 350?
I'm two days post op?
Check with your lymphatic massage therapist at your first massage.
Thank you for all the information!!!
But I would like to know if is ok for me to use foams even though my incision of tummy tuck is not completely healed??
Mireya Reyes the White foam will help protect your incision. Wear scar tape and a tank top underneath your compression garment
@@KathleenHelenLisson thank you very much, any specific brand of scar tape or which one you recommend to use ?? Should I change it often, can I wet it??
I'm so desperate 😭
I did my procedure in Tijuana but doctor didn't gave me any post op instructions and they take for ever to answer my questions.
Thank you very much!!
Mireya Reyes check out page 58-59 of the Plastic Surgery Recovery Handbook
@@KathleenHelenLisson thank you I will as soon I receive it from Amazon 🥰
I have an ab board, lumber board and foam. Should I use them all? How do I layer them?
Yes, use them all if you had 360 liposuction. I share the layering advice on page 70 of the Plastic Surgery Recovery Handbook
How long do you need to wear the foams for?
Check out the Plastic Surgery Recovery Handbook on amazon for answers !
Are you supposed tO wear the foam underneath your garment when you are lying flat on your back to sleep or is it ok to take it out at night?
Please ask at your next lymphatic massage appointment.
Thanks for the info? Can we use foams on its own or do they have to be used with a board. And are boards absolutely necessary?
Boards are to reinforce good posture. If you are not getting lines from slouching, you don’t need a board
Kathleen Lisson Thanks!
If it hurts to bend a week post-opt ,does that mean the foams are incorrectly place or the faja is too tight?
Please show your therapist at your next lymphatic massage
Will your book be beneficial for me even though I’ve already had surgery? I’m 1 week PO
Absolutely! I give a copy to all my clients at 5 days post op when I see them for their first lymphatic massage
Should we use Lipo Foam or AB Board?
Both of you sit a lot. Ask your lymphatic massage therapist
My issue with the foam is that no the sides are swollen eliminating curves. Any thoughts on that?
Please ask your lymphatic massage therapist or plastic surgeon to check your foams and faja at your next visit
Is there something at home that I can use as a substitute to the lipo foam? Ex: Socks, rags .. ty
Sorry I forgot to mention this would be for chin lipo!! 😅
You can buy a larger lipo foam and cut it to fit your chin
How soon after lipo should I use foams
usually your surgeon let's you use them after your first shower
@@KathleenHelenLisson thank you
For 360 lipo it would be much easier if they sold one very long and wide sheet of foam (like you can buy craft foam by the yard at a craft store) to customize it to wrap around your entire torso instead of piece mealing all these 8.5x11 boards all around your body. It really is a headache and very cumbersome for someone who doesn’t have a 24/7 or long term care taker to do this every day on their own. Im seriously thinking about buying a yard or two of high density craft foam because all these fragmented pieces are driving me nuts trying to put around my whole body. Does anyone know the biggest difference between the lipo foam and craft foam for 360 lipo usage?
I agree with you. My doctors office provided a one piece foam that wraps around your body! haven't found it anywhere else. I wanted another one but only 2 more weeks with foam on for me so I will keep washing this one.
Yes luckily i ended up finding the 360 wrap around foam from Ebay. I’m very grateful I found it because after a couple of weeks of dealing with the puzzle pieces of individual lipo foam pads, i was surely ready to give up on that cumbersome and tedious daily foam job.
What abo it for just flanks
Check out my video on skinny foams
What about swelling on lower abdomen? My upper is doing well but the lower part below the belly button is still swollen
What does your lymphatic massage therapist say?
@@KathleenHelenLisson it’s been 6 weeks since the surgery. They including the surgeon state the swelling is normal to keep a tight garment.
@@hbello15 ok. You are using foam and getting massages every week?
@@KathleenHelenLisson I had my 12 Massages Initially. I am doing pretty well but the lower abdomen area it’s taking time and it’s seem really slow compared to the upper abs. I did have my muscle repair as well. I am still using a board to help add pressure.
@@KathleenHelenLisson I am using board and foam.
The foam leaves me hard lumps and dents 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Not all foams are created the same! Did your lymphatic massage therapist give you the foam or did you buy it online?
@@KathleenHelenLisson I bought my foams & boards online
@@lisaruiz6840yep. Have you shown them to your lymphatic massage therapist?
So do we have to purchase several foams for bbl? Wouldn’t blood leak through? Or is there a way to prevent leaking into foams?
Layer your foams over your absorbent dressings like ABD pads
I have an ab board, lumber board and foam. Should I use them all? How do I layer them?
Check out the chapter on compression in the Plastic Surgery Recovery Handbook. It's on page 70.
