Fajas and more fajas !

WORTH IT$8,900
So at this point I have three stage two garments and Two stage one . My favorite one has got to be the cheapest ! I got it on amazon it's the Salome 0215 . I ignored all the reviews and got my size according to the size chart and I'm glad I did these things are supposed to be hard to get into !!! Plus it was $50 . I own a Verox faja with clips and that one is a Medium it's also comfortable but the inside isn't lined so it made me itchy and was also $125

Do you wear foams and an ab and back board?
Yeap all of it . Usually takes like 2/3 days to break in a new garment so I won't put them all on the first day.
Thanks for answering! I'm 4 weeks post and thought I was overdoing it with the foams and boards but they make me feel secure lol
Honestly I don't wear my garment at night it gives me anxiety while I sleep lol but Durig the day I use them all even tho my surgeon only said to wear the foam for 10 days post op
Do you feel like you swell when you don't wear it. I'm still wearing the one I was given, it's a Large and fits big now. I'm still very swollen, I don't know if it's because the faja doesn't give me enough compression or my diet, I eat a lot of sodium
I don't think I'm very swollen in general I wasn't retaining a lot of fluid but I also drink some pills for water retention
Which helps with the sodium. I did notice that the moment I got a better garment I was a lot less swollen . I started to wear my stage two garment after day 10. And then went into a size small last week and I see a huge difference .
Hi I love your results! Thanks for sharing pics. Do you know how many ccs he put in each cheek??
I honesty have no idea I have my two month post opp appt this week I'll find out. I know he put until my body couldn't take more and pushed it out.
Did you have lipo on your chin too?? I want that also but he charges an additional 1500
He threw that in I had a good referral . lol but honestly it isn't worth it

How many weeks until you know that the fat put into the buttocks will stay for good? And do you have any other advice my date is quickly approaching and I'm getting nervous!

Two weeks in!!!

Still extremely happy !went ahead and got a legit Colombian faja and let me tell you that thing is amazing. Also started post op massages 10 days after surgery as per doctors orders. Turns out it was a great idea my amazing massage therapist told me I only need 5 sessions . When normally it's 10+ depending on swelling . Also 90 percent of my bruising is gone and my incisions are invisible my hubby doesn't even know where they are .

You are looking great, did he tell you how many ccs he put in?
No idea I just know he went until my body couldn't anymore . I have tight skin like really really tight and he said even if I wanted it bigger it just wasn't letting him.
You look great! Can't wait to get mines done. Is it hard staying off your buttocks? For example sitting and sleeping. And was your buttocks numb after surgery?
Honestly it's a lot easier than I thought I have two kids under two years old and I was worried considering my daughter likes to sleep in my bed lol . But after he Fourth day everything was amazin . He did such a great job I love had minimal bruising and when I went for my massages my therapist was amazed st what a spectacular job he did . I'm three weeks out I've only had 3 massages and it's all I've needed .
I was wondering, did dr. Mendieta put drains in you?
You look amazing! Where did you purchase your Colombian faja?
where did you get your faja from? did you use an ab board as well?
