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

Thanks for your question. I tend to believe that a good compression garment really helps the outcome of the surgery. The intention of the garment should be to compress areas of lipo, and hold up the buttock area where fat is injected. I think its very important that the garment is used everyday and only removed when showering for up to 8 weeks. Some surgeons don't not require them, but my patients have been very satisfied with how the garments help the outcome.

Hello. Following your BBL surgery your surgeon will instruct you to wear a compression garment/ Faja for approximately six weeks after the procedure to support your BBL and the area where the fat was harvested from. Wearing this will protect the healing skin, improve healing and skin elasticity. You can also purchase a BBL pillow for maximum post operative recovery.
Best of luck!
