Will a faja shrink fat transfer to hips? I had a BBL two weeks ago.

Question

I love my results but can definitely tell I’m shrinking especially in my hips. The biggest reason why I got a bad was to achieve fuller hips. I noticed there’s a soft mesh in my faja so that it doesn’t compress my bum yet, there’s a no mesh in the hip area?! Will wearing my faja kill those newly transplanted fat cells? I want a small waist and I’ve read that fajas help with swelling.

Dear kasak2015,I instruct my patients not to sit for 2 solid weeks. We provide them a specialized pillow that our patients can sit on during that time. They can sleep on their stomachs or sides. Fat viability depends a lot of surgeon technique. The fat has to be placed back into the buttocks as soon as possible so that it has a greater chance of survival. It has to be placed carefully so that not too much fat is placed in only one areaDaniel Barrett, MD
