i stopped wearing my faja 2 weeks post op. I'm now 5 weeks post op and still waiting for my new Faja which wont be for another week. Is it too late to use one? Will it still help me form and tighten my body if I started wearing it again at 6 weeks post op. I'm not feeling my results.
Answer: I had a BBL 5 weeks ago and stopped wearing my Faja/compression garment. Is it too late to use one now? Compression garment protocols and adjunctive therapy like foam pads etc. vary from surgeon to surgeon. Post-operative compression garment therapy is very important in order to achieve the best results. However, if a garment does not fit correctly, unevenly distributes pressure, or is too tight... it may affect and hinder ones overall result. It is always best to review and make sure your garment is adequate by reaching out to your surgeon in order to maximize your result and explain the current situation.

Answer: The use of compression garment my protocol is for patients to use compression garments for two weeks after the procedure after that I see no purpose in using them any further. Compression garments have zero impact on your final results. There's no scientific evidence justifying their use at all. If you're not happy with your results at five weeks you will not be happy with your results long-term. Results are final earth very close to final at six weeks. There may be a slight bit of swelling that may change over the next several months but not enough to make a significant difference. Getting your Faja( i'm guessing you had your surgery outside the United States since we do not use that term in this country) Will not make any difference on your final outcome.
