Why You Need Two Compression Garments (Fajas) During Post-Op Recovery

If you're preparing for cosmetic surgery-whether it's a BBL, liposuction, or tummy tuck-one of the most important parts of your recovery journey will be your compression garment, also known as a faja. But here's something many patients don't realize until it's too late: you actually need two fajas, not just one.

Here's why doubling up on fajas is essential for a smooth and effective recovery.

1. Hygiene and Cleanliness

After surgery, your body will naturally drain fluids and sweat more than usual. Your faja will be in constant contact with your skin, absorbing all of it. Having only one garment means wearing it nonstop, with little to no time for proper washing and drying. That can lead to bacterial build-up, skin irritation, and even infections.

Having a second faja ensures you can alternate between them, keeping both your body and garments fresh and clean.

2. Consistent Compression = Better Results

Compression needs to be consistent-especially during the first 6 to 8 weeks post-op.

Any long breaks in wearing your faja, like waiting for it to dry after washing, can interfere with your results. Swelling can come back, and your body may not contour as smoothly as it should. Two fajas means you never have to skip a beat. One is always ready to wear while the other is being cleaned.

3. Changing Body, Changing Needs

Your body won't stay the same size throughout your recovery. In fact, as swelling goes down and your shape starts to define, your first faja may become too loose to offer proper compression.

This is where your second faja comes in-it's usually a smaller size or a more structured design to match your stage 2 or 3 recovery needs. It continues to shape, support, and contour as your body evolves.

4. Comfort & Convenience

Let's face it-post-op recovery can be uncomfortable. Having a backup garment gives you options. Maybe one feels better for sleeping, or you prefer one with a zipper during the day. Having two means you can rotate for comfort without compromising results.

Final Thoughts

Think of your compression garments like your recovery partners. You wouldn't go to the gym with one sneaker-so don't go through your post-op healing with only one faja.

Investing in two high-quality compression garments means faster healing, better hygiene, and more beautiful results. You deserve to look and feel your best throughout the entire journey.
