What size faja/compression garment should I get? (Photo)

Thanks for your question. The place where you get the fajas should be able to recommend you the size. I would recommend you try them on to find the right one for you. We typically have our patients wear compression garments on the areas we did liposuction to help the skin and underlying tissues re-adhere as well as reduce swelling. However, if you garments are too tight they can restrict lymphatic drainage and blood flow leading to more swelling and complications. I'd highly suggest you contact your surgeon's office regarding your plan. Best of luck!

Hi Vanperela, Typically, size of compression garment is selected by the plastic surgeon. I would call your plastic surgeons office and let them know your measurements and they will be able to assist you best. It is important that your garment is providing adequate compression, but not to the point where it is cutting off circulation or indenting on your skin. 

The PS you have selected to perform your MM should provide you with post operative instructions, one of which will be the type of compression garment and length of wear.Our office provides our MM patients with an adjustable compression garment manufactured by Clear Point.  The  patients like the support it provides to the back and to the abdomen.  The only complaint I have heard is related to the "itchiness" of the fabric which can be remedied by wearing a soft t-shirt under the garment.
