Post-Surgery Bras & Tops

Most patients begin wearing their Stage 1 compression faja immediately after surgery — often before leaving the operating room — and continue for 4 to 6 weeks. Always follow your surgeon's specific timeline, as it varies based on procedure (BBL, lipo 360, tummy tuck) and your individual recovery progress.

Stage 1 fajas feature gentle compression, easy-on closures (zippers, snaps), and openings for surgical drains — designed for the immediate post-op period (days 1-21). Stage 2 fajas deliver firmer compression with hook-and-eye closures, used from week 3 onward as swelling decreases and your new silhouette begins to set.

Use the size chart on each product page and measure your waist and hips with a soft measuring tape. Most Colombian post-surgery fajas run 1-2 sizes smaller than U.S. clothing sizes due to the strong compression. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Your surgeon may also have specific sizing recommendations.

Yes — open-bust post-surgery fajas are specifically designed to leave the bust area free so you can wear a surgical bra or your preferred bra. This is essential after breast surgery, breast augmentation, or any procedure where chest compression must be avoided.

Hand wash with mild detergent in cold water and air dry flat. Never use the dryer, bleach, or fabric softener — these damage the Powernet fibers and reduce compression. Many customers buy two fajas to alternate while one is drying, ensuring continuous compression during recovery.
