Can I wear a waist trainer/corset instead of full body faja six weeks after BBL?

Question

My stage two is way to tight in hips and bum. I had surgery Dec 28 DR. The doctor won’t answer my questions. I am extremely unhappy with my results. He says he added 1800cc of fat to my bum and hips. It only looks like he took the fat off my stomach and back to give the illusion my bum is shaped. I have been measuring each week and it’s getting even smaller too.

I would suggest contact your plastic surgeon regarding the garment question because each plastic surgeon has his own post op directions on garment wear. Its important to follow them as closely as possible.Final BBL result, the final result of a BBL is usually visible 8-12 months post op. I would suggest you upload your before and after picture. Regarding your concern of a buttock getting smaller. If the fat is injected correctly 30% of the fat injected will be flushed out of the body naturally, if its done incorrectly that number can double. Its important to pick an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. We specialize on Brazilian Buttock Lifts. If you are not satisfied with your result, please schedule a further consultation for a revision.

Post operative protocols will be provided to you by your PS's office; follow that advice! Plastic surgeon preferences for compression garments and length of time to wear differ. For a period of six weeks, my patients typically wear an adjustable garment with multiple bands so that tension can be adjusted and the areas of liposuction are less likely to get a fluid collection.

Dear cricri11,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

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I suggest my patients to use a full body compression garment, 24/7 for the first 3 months, and after that, for 12 hours a day for 3 more months, to get the best results.
It is important for the compression garment to be very tight, for it to help with the swelling, after surgery. Please, follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)
