Is compression needed after a BBL? Does the faja do anything to shape the butt?

Fajas are vitally important after having a BBL. They provide comfort, reduce bleeding, limit swelling, prevent seroma formation, decrease your risk of fibrosis and improve your shape. Your surgeon is the most responsible for your results after having liposuction or a BBL but do not discount the contributions made by a good faja. It is critical to wear a faja after surgery.

The Ogee Faja is unique in that it has different levels of compression throughout the body to put more pressure where it is needed and to have limited pressure where the fat was grafted. Watch the video to learn more but do not skip the faja.

Yes, wearing the faja is crucial post BBL for a great result. Faja helps molding the fat injected in your hips and buttocks. It also helps with the skin contracture. Remember lipo-suction means fat-suction. Not Skin-suction. The skin contracts on its own for up to 6-8 weeks post-operatively. The faja helps with that. Also make sure you get massages. They are very important so that you don't develop fibrosis or scar tissue which leads to lumps, bumps and contour abnormalities. Hope this helps. Goodluck.

Thank you for your question. After a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgery, a compression garment, also known as a "faja," is typically recommended to help reduce swelling, promote healing, and maintain the shape of the newly contoured buttocks. The pressure from the faja can also help to reshape the buttocks by keeping the newly transferred fat in place as it heals. The use of a full faja, which covers the stomach, hips, and buttocks, is typically recommended for the first few days after the surgery. This is because the buttocks and the surrounding areas have undergone significant changes during the procedure, and the full faja provides the most support and compression to these areas. However, it's important to follow the specific postoperative instructions of the surgeon and the faja use can vary depending on the surgeon and the patient's recovery. The faja is not a shaping tool, but a post-operative support tool, the shape of the buttocks is ultimately determined by the amount and distribution of fat transferred and the surgeon's technique. However, the faja can help to keep the newly transferred fat in place as it heals and may also help to reduce swelling and promote healing. Therefore, it's important to follow the surgeon's specific postoperative instructions regarding the use of a faja.
