What size faja should I get after a tummy tuck and BBL?

Question

Thank you for your question! Garment size is based on measurements taken prior to an immediately post surgery. It is hard to recommend a certain size before surgery because it is dependent on what procedure you are having and the amount of skin and fat removed. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the question. Congrats on your decision to proceed with TT and BBL. It is best to discuss with your board certified plastic surgeon for which garment is appropriate for you. Good luck.

I appreciate your question. There are several options available for patients which combined tummy tuck and BBL. I suggest you speak with your plastic surgeon - they should be able to offer you similar options.Good luck. Dr. ALDO

In general, a well-fitting compression garment must be worn 24 hours a day 7 days a week for 4 to 6 weeks following surgery. Our office provides our TT/lipo patients with an adjustable compression garment.  The  patients like the support it provides to the back and to the abdomen.  The only complaint I have heard is related to the "itchiness" of the fabric which can be remedied by wearing a soft t-shirt under the garment.  Because each PS will have his/her own post-operative protocols, it is best to ask your PS which compression garment and size is recommended for you.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
