Are you here because you're preparing for surgery or considering one and now face the daunting task of finding a stage one faja? If so, you're in the right place! But what exactly is a stage one faja, and why is it essential for your recovery?
What Is a Stage One Faja? A stage one faja is a post-operative compression garment worn after cosmetic procedures such as tummy tucks, liposuction, BBLs, body lifts, and more.
Why Is a Stage One Faja Important? The primary purpose of a stage one faja is to provide even compression, which helps to:
-
Minimize swelling
-
Reduce fluid retention
-
Promote skin retraction
-
Provide overall support for your healing body
Further, a stage one faja is important because it provides the right amount of compression for your healing body. Too much compression could hinder your recovery. This is why you never want to jump right into a stage two faja.
Fajas and Tummy Tucks If your tummy tuck involves a drain, a stage one faja can help push out excess fluid, leading to quicker drain removal (yay, freedom!). Embodied's stage one faja was designed with drains in mind. It features drain clips on both sides of the lower hip, eliminating the need for lanyards, pockets, or safety pins commonly required by other fajas.
How Long Should You Wear a Stage One Faja? Typically, you'll wear a stage one faja for 7-10 days, or until it feels loose enough to move on to a stage two faja.
