Everything you need to know
When should I start wearing my post-surgery faja?
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.
What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 fajas?
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.
How do I choose the right size for my post-surgery faja?
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.
Can I wear my own bra with a post-surgery faja?
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.
How do I care for my Colombian compression faja?
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.
Open-bust post-surgery fajas are designed to compress the abdomen, waist, hips, and back while leaving the bust area completely free ideal for women recovering from breast surgery, breast augmentation, or breast reduction who need to wear a separate surgical bra. These Colombian-made compression garments feature anatomical cuts that hug your post-op silhouette, adjustable shoulder straps for personalized fit, and either mid-thigh or knee-length coverage to support lipo and tummy tuck healing. Crafted with breathable Powernet and soft hypoallergenic linings, our open-bust fajas let you customize your upper-body support while delivering medical-grade compression where your body needs it most.
