Hooking my faja after BA, TT and Fat Trans to Hips?

Question

I am considering getting a full Mommy Makeover with breast, tummy and fat transfer to hips. How can I hook my faja after having my breasts done? I will be limited in my arm movement for a while. To hook the faja I would have to pull inward with my arms. Will that negatively impact my breast augmentation results?

Placing a faja garment after surgery can be challenging for patients and their caregivers.  Definetly have a support person with you for the first several days after your surgery.  As your pain subsides and you become stronger, you will be able to fasten your faja on your own.  Usually after about 5-7 days. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Thank you for sharing your question. I would recommend discussing this with your surgeon based on the specific faja you are planning to use.

Dear hautebellaexperience,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

You will be able to fasten your compression garment after surgery.  The garments come in many different styles.  Your surgeon will help you select the one that's best for you based on your surgical plan.
