Can you go back to wearing your faja a year after liposuction?

Question

I had a liposuction procedure (abdomin) a year and 2 months ago. I am not able to really tell that I ever had a proceedure done. If I go back to wearing the faja after all of this time, will it help at all?

Dear msbg0071,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

After liposuction, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s recommendations regarding post-operative care, including the use of compression garments like a faja. While typically compression garments are worn immediately after surgery and during the initial recovery period, your surgeon’s advice should be followed regarding when and how long to wear them. If you’re considering wearing a faja again a year after liposuction, it’s best to consult with your surgeon to ensure it’s safe and appropriate for your specific situation. They can provide guidance based on your individual progress and needs.

If you gained weight, you may no longer see a change. If you wear the garment tightly, then you may find you cannot eat as much.  Otherwise, it will have no benefit on the previously treated areas.

Photos both before and after surgery would help more accurately answer your question.  If there is little difference post abdominal liposuction, either:
1.  Not enough fat was taken
2.  Post-op weight gain may be to blame
3.  You were not a good candidate for the initial liposuction

Wearing compression garment May give you temporary reduction in the amount of fluid in your tissues but will not change your results.
Compression garments do not change final liposuction results which are purely determined by each individual patient candidacy for the procedure combined with the skillet experience of the surgeon.
Patience would like seeing quality results after liposuction should definitely take a look at their weight history and check their weight compared to what I was at the time of surgery.
It’s not uncommon for people to gain weight after liposuction which will definitely lessen the results.
Without showing proper before and after pictures we really can’t make an assessment on the outcome of your procedure.
You can wear your compression garment if you like but it will not change your Liposuction results.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom MD
