Answer: Cutting Faja/Girdle for BBL Hi, ADodson. Congratulations on your BBL! A lot of doctors do cut the buttock area out of the faja, or use girdles that are already made with cutouts, to reduce pressure on the fat transferred to the buttocks. I don't like to do to this, as I think gentle compressive support helps control post-operative swelling, reduces pain, and helps keep the area more smooth. Your doctor, however, based on his/her experience and perhaps surgical technique, likely has found this practice beneficial for his/her patients. The butt may look weird following a BBL, irrespective of the faja, early on due to swelling and/or tightness of the skin. I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your PS -- he/she will be able to best determine whether your buttock contour is expected or whether your faja should be modified or not. Best of luck, and I hope you achieve the results you were looking for and that your recovery goes well!

Answer: #BBL #Brazilianbuttlift #plasticsurgery Congratulations on your recent surgery and thank you for sharing your question about your post operative recovery and results after your surgery. Final results can take 6-12 months for all the swelling to subside. At our office here at CARE we actually see all of our surgery patients the very next day after surgery and then again at two weeks and beyond. We enjoy staying closely connected to our patients and enjoy giving the extra attention and service. Your concerns are important to discuss directly with your board certified plastic surgeon. He or she will appreciate the open communication and will want to help you. I hope this is helpful and wish you all the very best. Sincerely, Brian S. Coan, MD, FACS

Answer: Is it normal for your dr to cut the holes out of your faja after the BBL? Thank you for your question. Most BBL specific post-op garments have little to no compression over the butt itself. Some surgeons prefer the post-op garments that already come with the holes cut out for each side. It is best to check with the Plastic Surgeon who performed your procedure as every surgeon has different preferences for what works best for their patients.
