I am 1 month post BBL can I take my faja off?

Question

Hi, I am one month post op I been wearing my faja on and off sometimes I take off my faja for like 6-7 hours and then put it on again for the rest of the day or night. I been taking anti-inflammatory pills from day one my doctor prescribed them to me so I literally don’t have any swelling left. Also I am almost sure that my butt will stay like this and it won’t change anymore it has been the same shape and size since week 2 and I am almost a month and a week. What do you guys think? Your advice be?

Thanks for your question...Every surgeon has different post op instructions, I suggest clarifying with him/her what applies to you. You can learn more on our social media (Instagram and Snapchat): @realdrsix.

The type of compression garment and the length of wear is plastic surgeon dependent.  Follow your plastic surgeon's post-operative guidelines as he/she knows the extent of your surgery and how well you are healing.

Dear yarelis07,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

Compression garment protocols and adjunctive therapy like foam pads etc. vary from surgeon to surgeon. Post-operative compression garment therapy is very important in order to achieve the best results. However, if a garment does not fit correctly, unevenly distributes pressure, or is too tight... it may affect and hinder ones overall result. It is always best to review and make sure your garment is adequate by reaching out to your surgeon in order to maximize your result and explain the current situation

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. At the stage you are in, inflammation is normal.I suggest my patients to try the lymphatic massages and to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results.
It is important for the compression garment to be very tight, for it to help with the swelling, after surgery.  Please, follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Most patient take at least 6 weeks to stabilize as far as the fat is concerned. We know that fat loss can continue to occur up to 6 months after the surgery. How long you wear the garment is totally up to your PS. I ask my patients to wear the 1st stage garment for ~4-6 weeks.

Hello,Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.
Following the recommendations of your surgeon is very important. The recovery takes around 4 to 6 weeks, you must perform lymphatic drainage massages, for me more, and you can continue your normal activities, perform light exercises, then increase the routine without any problem
you must continue using the 2-hour break in the day, it is advisable to consult with your plastic surgeon to evaluate you and complete the appropriate procedure for that case
I hope this answer will help youMy best wishes for you ...
