So the new faja irritated my the openings i had developed and reopened them :( so even though i should be wearing my faja 24/7 for three more weeks, they said i can take it off to allow the openings to heal. In the days if been out of be faja I’ve swelled up so much and feel like i look bloated and puffy :(

Faja update

KAT1228
I can’t even believe it’s true, but I’m down another size in my faja. From not wanting to wear a faja period to being about that faja life... what a difference a few weeks makes! I have a little over 3 more weeks wearing the faja 24/7 and with the weather getting hot i really wanted a pair of shorts. Ladies, if ordering from amazon please take note of the style. Not all fajas are “stage 2” and a stage 2 faja doesn’t refer to a smaller faja. Stage 2 fajas are very stiff with incredible compression. Nothing like the faja you wear from the surgeon. I’ve only worn MariaE fajas this surgery - stage 1 from my surgeon, stage 2 purchased through my massage studio, and the third one i bought on amazon. This is MariaE 9334... great for women with thicker thighs. So far very happy with it! I’m wearing this with a butterfly ab board (for protection) and my back board. Let’s see if i can make it to another size down! Lol

Just about 2 months now. My opening in my leg incision is closing well and I’m on the last hook of my stage 2 faja (XL). May move down to a L, my friend has one i will try this weekend. This one is still crazy tight but if the L fits, I’ll go down. I will need an ab board - i didn’t get any procedure to my stomach but the board will protect against he faja. In a few days I’ll be able to stop wearing my arm compressions and i am sooooo excited! Here are some progress pics.

Hi congratulations in lo your weight lossand that your taking care what of your saggy skin issues. I going through the same problem and would like to o the same. Your a brave soul you can barely notice your scars you look great . If you can let me know will the scar on your thighs show when your were a swim suit or no or if that possible in that type of surgery. I thought the scar would be much higher up the thigh close to the groin area that it won’t show with swim suit. Thank you for letting us follow you it’s been helpful.

Hey! Thanks so much! My scars would show when wearing a bathing suit/underwear. The scars are about an inch outside of the groin. I’m not worried though because i can already tell the scars will hardly be noticeable. I have seen incisions in other women like mine and some very close to the groin. I think it depends on the surgeons preference.
