What faja do I choose after a tummy tuck with a BBL? (Photo)

Question

Hello I have a question I'm soon getting done a tummy tuck and bbl. What's the aftercare like I know for a tummy tuck I need a binder and for a bbl a faja stage 1 . so if I'm getting both done which one do I choose to wear? Also would I need to get lymphatic massages after my procedure but wouldn't that be dangerous to my tummy tuck incision?

These are questions that you need to discuss with your surgeon as opinions may vary.  Your surgeon can assist you with selecting the correct garment and fit needed during your recovery.  Compression is helpful in controlling swelling and supporting healing tissues.  Good luck with surgery!

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

This is a question for the plastic surgeon who performs your BBL and TT as plastic surgeon preferences for types of compression garments and length of wear vary. My office recommends that our patients wear an adjustable abdominal compression garment for six weeks. This compression garment does not cover the buttocks or the hips.

Dear Good462818,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.

Your surgeon will have specific instructions and garments for you to wear so you need to discuss your questions with him/her.
