In 3 days, I'm having a tummy tuck (no muscle work, only loose skin removal) and BBL. I'm 5'2" and 120lbs. My doc said he doesn't use or recommend faja or compression on the buttocks after bbl, it will only be around my waist for the tummy tuck. He's a well regarded surgeon, but I'm seeing so much about the NEED for fajas for WEEKS after surgery....is he going rogue and should I just get one and wear it?
Answer: Listen to your surgeon! If you chose your surgeon because you trust them, then you must follow their protocol in order to get the results you want. I also prohibit my patients from using fajas, the only people that say they are NEEDED are the people who make them and profit off them. I have seen too many great BBLs ruined by bad fajas and bad lymphatic massage. If you don't follow your surgeon's instructions and you are not happy with your result you will be paying big $$ for a revision, so I'd suggest following instructions. Hope that helps!

Answer: My surgeon said he doesn't recommend fajas or any compression on the buttocks after BBL. Should I just get one and wear it? I ask my patients to wear compression garments to help obliterate dead space and reduce the incidence of fluid collections. I always advocate following the protocols recommended by your board certified plastic surgeon as he is ultimately responsible for your healing and recovery.

Answer: Compression garment after BBL You should follow your doctor‘s instructions. I don’t think you’re going to get a plastic surgeon to recommend going against your own doctors recommendations.
