Taping is very helpful for post-operative recovery for many reasons. Let us look at this in detail.
Taping the area where the tummy tuck or liposuction has been done can help decrease the swelling. The area around where the invasive surgery has been done may fluctuate in size during the post-operative period, taping can help decrease this fluctuation.
Taping the area helps to shape the area that has been operated on faster.
Taping can help your skin retract and adapt to your new shape. After an invasive surgery the skin is pliable so if you tape the area, it will help the skin attach to the underlying muscle and help prevent scar tissue from forming.
Taping can be done after 3 days as long as the incisions are left open.
