The duration of consistent compression garment use following a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure is a critical aspect of postoperative care. Patients are generally advised to wear a faja continuously for several weeks after surgery to promote optimal healing, minimize swelling, and help the skin retract effectively. Determining when it is appropriate to discontinue wearing the garment, particularly during sleep, requires careful consideration and should be guided by a surgeon’s recommendations.
Adhering to the prescribed compression schedule is vital for achieving the desired aesthetic outcome and reducing the risk of complications such as seroma formation or skin irregularities. Consistent compression aids in supporting the newly transferred fat cells, encouraging their survival and integration into the surrounding tissues. Historically, compression garments have been a cornerstone of postoperative care in various surgical procedures to enhance recovery and improve results.
