Does wearing a faja with a butt cut out enhance BBL results?

That's a great question, and it's smart to be thinking about the details of your post-op care! When it comes to a BBL, the absolute number one rule is to protect the newly transferred fat cells. Any pressure on them can keep them from establishing a blood supply and surviving.

This is why we, as cosmetic surgeons, recommend against fajas with butt cut-outs after a BBL. That open area can cause the buttocks to sag and spread, putting tension on the fragile fat grafts. A seamless, closed faja provides even, all-around compression that helps control swelling in your waist and torso without compromising your new contours. It’s all about creating a stable, protected environment for your results to settle into.

The specific type of garment and how long you wear it is a critical part of your surgical plan. Your surgeon will give you a protocol tailored to your procedure. Trusting that plan is the best path to ensuring you get the voluptuous, natural-looking result you’re hoping for!
