Will my Colombian faja make me lose the fat placed on my hips and butt? (Photo)

Question

I had BBL almost 7 weeks ago and they recently sold me a Colombian faja at where I got my procedure. Since the fat placed and my butt begins a little more above then others peoples butt, I think the faja might make me flat. it has holes so that your butt is not compressed but I think a part of the curve where my butt begins is compressed when using it and i wanted to know if it is recommended that i used it or if it will affect my curve. I will link pictures of results and the Colombian faja.

Dear Lis.,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Post operative protocols will be provided to you by your PS's office; follow that advice! Plastic surgeon preferences for compression garments and length of time to wear differ. For a period of six weeks, my patients typically wear an adjustable garment with multiple bands (this prevents patients from having to purchase smaller garments over time) so that tension can be adjusted and the areas of liposuction are less likely to get a fluid collection.

Compression garment protocols 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.

At seven weeks your results are close to final. Compression garments will not have any impact at this point. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
