So there are Stage 1, 2 and 3 Fajas out there. I’ve seen dozens of opinions on when to switch into what stage etc. and I’ve seen so many surgery pages post about how switching to the right level at the right time can make or break your results. Is that really true? I’m sure it can determine whether you have more swelling or less and how fast you heal but as long as there’s no scar tissue/fibrosis isn’t it down to the surgeons work? For example can my waist be broad because I switched too late?

Answer: Compression garments In my opinion compression garments have zero impact on final results. There is zero scientific evidence that compression garments serve any use for purpose other than to control temporary swelling and hold absorbent pads in place. Personally we use them for the first two weeks and that’s it. Once upon a time baking soda was a product used primarily for baking and in some industrial uses. to sell more product Armand hammer came up with a multitude of uses for baking soda such as placing baking soda in your freezer, refrigerator, in your carpets, and your laundry detergent etc. etc. etc. from a business perspective this is a textbook marketing campaign that is referred to frequently in business schools. Companies selling compression garments are creating new opportunities by convincing patients that they need various stages of compression when compression really isn’t indicated at all. Plastic surgeons differ on the topic of compression garment but no one has ever proven that they use changes the final outcome. In my opinion Liposuction results are determined when the plastic surgeon turns off the liposuction pump at the end of the procedure. Nothing the patient does after that point will change the outcome of the procedure. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
