I was given a faja and waist binder by my surgeon and I was told that when my swelling goes down, I don't need a stage 2 faja as the waist binder will do the job. Is that accurate or will I need a stage 2 faja to better contour my body?

Answer: Compression garments Compression garments have no impact in the final outcome or surgical results of liposuction and fat transfer procedures. There is no evidence that any of these change to final outcome. I encourage patient to wear compression garments for two weeks and then they’re done. Some patients like wearing compression garments and I see no harm in doing that. Different doctors have different opinions on the topic. I suggest you follow your doctors recommendations.

Answer: Will the use of a stage 2 compression garment improve the operative result? Hi and welcome to our forum!There is no general consensus on the duration of use or even the use of compression garments! Each plastic surgeon develops a unique individual postoperative protocol based upon training and years of clinical experience. Some plastic surgeons recommend compression for a period of 4 weeks, some for 6 weeks, some for 3 months, and some not at all. Compression is used to prevent bleeding and to control swelling. It does not appear to re-shape the body.Best wishes...
