Butt out faja after BBL? Am I in the right garment? It is the one my dr gave me but I want a second opinion! (photo)

Question

I just got a bbl 3 days ago and the garment that I woke up in and continue to use is a butt out garment. When I went to my consultation back in June they advised me I would be in a full coverage faja that wouldn’t construct my butt, but would still support it. They said I would not be in a butt out faja until 6 months post op.

Every surgeon has different post op care instructions, I usually have my patients in a compression garment the first 4 weeks , after that they can wear a faja of their  liking. It is best you follow your PS's advise.

Thank your for your question. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively. We typically have our patients wear compression garments on the areas we did liposuction to help the skin and underlying tissues re-adhere as well as reduce swelling.
