How Long Should I Wear My Faja After Surgery?

After cosmetic surgeries like liposuction, tummy tucks, or BBL (Brazilian butt lifts), wearing a faja is a crucial part of the recovery process. The duration you should wear it varies depending on your doctor’s advice and the type of surgery you underwent.

• First Stage (2-3 Weeks Post-Surgery): During the initial recovery phase, patients are typically advised to wear their faja 24/7, only removing it for brief periods such as when showering. This helps control swelling, reduce fluid buildup, and support the healing tissues.

• Second Stage (4-6 Weeks Post-Surgery): After the initial phase, you can begin to reduce wear time, depending on your surgeon’s guidance. However, most people still wear the faja for the majority of the day to continue shaping and healing.

• Long-Term Use: Some individuals continue to wear a faja for a few months post-surgery for additional shaping and support, especially during physical activities.

Always follow your surgeon’s instructions, as the time frame may vary based on the complexity of the procedure and individual healing rates.
