I'm going to a spring in May but my surgery is April 5th. Can I go in the spring with my Faja on my body.
Answer: If you're in between your 5 weeks and have to wear your Fajardo, can you swim in the Fajardo for a short time? Thank you for your question. You should ask your surgeon but I recommend that my patients do not submerge their incisions under water for 6 weeks after surgery and that is if everything heals perfectly. Hope this helps!

Answer: If you're in between your 5 weeks and have to wear your Fajardo, can you swim in the Fajardo for a short time? No pools or the like should be entered until wound healing is complete, which will take at least 6 weeks. The last thing you want is an infection following this procedures.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear aprillf, 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.

I recommend my patients to wait at least 6 weeks before resuming any water related sports, to avoid risk of infection.

Answer: Swimming after BBL Each plastic surgeon will have their own postoperative protocols. For that reason it really doesn’t matter what my protocol is. What matters is what your surgeon recommends so you should ask the surgeon who’s going to do your procedure. I have patients wear compression garments for only two weeks so in my practice it would be a non-issue. Best, Mats Hagstrom,MD
