How tight should my faja for BBL be? (Photo)

Great question!  You will be very swollen after surgery so you might need to get a size bigger.  Most patients end up getting two or three different sizes as the swelling will decrease over the course of 4-6 weeks.  I tell patients that it should be too tight or too loose - basically as tight as a strong hug should suffice.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Follow your plastic surgeon's advice.  Plastic surgeon preferences for compression garments and length of time to wear differ.  I typically ask patients to use adjustable garments with multiple bands so that tension can be adjusted and the areas of liposuction are less likely to get a fluid collection. The garments typically do not cover the buttocks.

I personally don't like to give patients the garment before surgery. We usually pick the appropriate garments right after the surgery is done. Having said this, there is no standard protocol and every surgeon is different. I am sure your surgeon and team would benefit from your question. Reach out to them. #StayBeautiful #RealDrWorldWide

Dear caddyrw,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.Daniel Barrett, MD
