How to Use an Abdominal Board After Liposuction Surgery

If you've recently had liposuction, your surgeon may have recommended using an abdominal board as part of your recovery. But what exactly does it do, and how do you use it correctly?

What is an Abdominal Board? An abdominal board is a firm, flat board worn under your compression garment after lipo surgery. It helps distribute pressure evenly across your abdomen, reducing swelling, preventing fluid buildup (seroma), and helping your skin retract smoothly for better results.

How to Use It

Place the board flat against your abdomen

Secure it under your compression garment

Wear it as directed by your surgeon — typically 8-12 hours a day

Clean it regularly with mild soap and water
