Common Questions About Stage 1 Fajas
What is a Stage 1 faja?
A Stage 1 faja is a medical-grade compression garment worn immediately after cosmetic surgery, typically starting the day of or the day after your procedure. Stage 1 garments provide the highest level of compression to control post-operative swelling, reduce bruising, prevent fluid accumulation, and support healing tissue during the most critical phase of recovery. Colombiana Stage 1 fajas are manufactured in Colombia and available in styles for BBL, liposuction, lipo 360, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, brachioplasty, and full body contouring.
How long do I wear a Stage 1 faja?
Most Stage 1 protocols require continuous wear for the first two to four weeks after surgery, including overnight. Some surgeons recommend Stage 1 compression for up to six weeks depending on the procedure and your individual recovery. Your surgeon's specific protocol always takes priority. Never transition to a Stage 2 garment without your surgeon's clearance, as moving to lower compression too early can affect your results and healing.
Which Stage 1 garment is right for my procedure?
The right Stage 1 garment depends on your specific procedure. For BBL, you need an open-back or open lower back style that compresses the abdomen without pressure on transferred fat. For liposuction and lipo 360, a full coverage faja or abdominal binder that matches the treated area is appropriate. For tummy tuck, firm abdominal compression with lower back support is needed. For breast augmentation, a wire-free front closure compression bra is required. For brachioplasty or arm procedures, a compression bra with sleeves extending to the elbow provides upper body and arm compression simultaneously. For full body contouring involving multiple procedures, a full body faja with built-in bra support covers all treated areas in one garment. Contact us if you are unsure which style fits your procedure.
What is an abdominal binder and when do I need one?
An abdominal binder is a wide compression wrap that covers the midsection from the hips to the ribcage, providing firm, even compression across the entire abdominal area. Abdominal binders are commonly used immediately after tummy tuck, lipo 360, and abdominal liposuction procedures. They are often the first garment worn in the recovery room before transitioning to a fitted Stage 1 faja. Some surgeons use binders and fajas together during early Stage 1 recovery for maximum compression.
Can I wear a Stage 1 faja to sleep?
Yes. Stage 1 fajas are designed for continuous wear including overnight. Sleeping in your Stage 1 compression garment is typically required during the first two to four weeks of recovery to maintain consistent compression as swelling fluctuates during sleep. If you experience sharp pain, difficulty breathing, or significant skin irritation overnight, loosen the garment and contact your surgeon.
How tight should a Stage 1 faja feel?
A Stage 1 faja should feel firm with consistent, even pressure across all treated areas. Some tightness and pressure is expected and necessary during Stage 1 as post-operative swelling is at its peak. You should be able to breathe comfortably and move without sharp pain. If you feel numbness, tingling, difficulty breathing, or skin breakdown beyond normal post-surgical sensitivity, loosen the garment immediately and contact your surgeon. Proper sizing based on your pre-surgery measurements is essential — do not guess on sizing for Stage 1 recovery garments.
How is Stage 1 different from Stage 2 and Stage 3?
Stage 1 provides the highest compression for the immediate post-operative period when swelling is most severe and healing tissue is most vulnerable. Stage 2 transitions you into active healing with firm but slightly less restrictive compression as swelling reduces and your body adapts to its new shape. Stage 3 supports continued shaping during the final phase of recovery as your results settle. Each stage requires a different garment — wearing the wrong compression level at the wrong stage can affect both comfort and surgical results.
