How to Take Your Measurements
How to measure your waist
Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist, generally around the belly button. Keep one finger of space between the tape and your body.
How to measure your hips
With your feet approximately 6" apart, measure around the fullest part of your hips. This area usually corresponds to the top of your legs.
All conversions are approximate. Fit may vary by style.
The NS047 is a Colombian faja built for the procedures that need full thigh coverage - liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, and thigh procedures where a mid-thigh cut leaves compression gaps. The above the knee length extends coverage from waist to just above the knee, supporting the full thigh through every stage of swelling and recovery.
Designed for Stage 2 post-surgical recovery, Sculpt-level Powernet compression holds your results in place as your body reshapes. Three rows of hooks give you three compression settings to adjust as you size down through recovery. Adjustable straps keep the garment sitting correctly on your torso throughout. The same construction works for everyday wear once recovery is complete, the extended length makes it particularly useful under dresses and skirts where mid-thigh fajas end too soon. Made in Colombia.

Above the knee length
Extended coverage from waist to just above the knee supports the full thigh, essential for lipo, BBL, and thigh procedures where mid-thigh fajas leave compression gaps.
Sculpt-level compression
Firm Powernet hold from waist to just above the knee that supports healing tissue and holds your results in place through Stage 2 recovery.
Double hook-and-eye closure
Three hook settings let you dial in the fit when you put it on and adjust throughout the day. Start on the middle setting and tighten as your body settles in.
Adjustable straps
Customize the fit to your torso length so the faja sits correctly throughout recovery without pulling at the bust or riding down at the waist.
Zipper crotch
Full restroom convenience without removing the garment, essential during post-surgical recovery when removing compression is not recommended.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the NS047 extend above the knee instead of stopping at mid-thigh?
Procedures involving the thighs -- inner lipo, outer thigh contouring, BBL, and full lipo 360 -- need compression that covers the full thigh, not just to mid-thigh. A standard mid-thigh faja leaves the lower thigh without support, which can affect swelling management and final results. The NS047 extends coverage to just above the knee to address this.
What stage of recovery is the NS047 designed for?
The NS047 is designed for Stage 2 post-surgical recovery, typically beginning 2 to 4 weeks after surgery when initial swelling has reduced. The three rows of hooks let you adjust compression tighter as you size down through recovery. Always follow your surgeon's specific guidance on when to transition between stages.
Can I wear the NS047 as an everyday faja after recovery?
Yes. The NS047 works well as an everyday faja after recovery is complete. The above the knee length is particularly useful under longer dresses and skirts where a mid-thigh faja would end too soon and create a visible compression line. The Sculpt-level compression provides firm everyday sculpting from waist to just above the knee.
What size should I order in the NS047?
Use your waist and hip measurements together. During recovery, consider sizing up one size from your normal measurement to accommodate early-stage swelling -- the three hook rows allow you to tighten as swelling reduces. Our full faja size guide walks you through exactly how to measure.
Is the NS047 suitable for BBL recovery?
The NS047 provides full thigh compression suitable for BBL recovery where thigh contouring is involved. However BBL recovery requires an open-butt design to avoid pressure on the transferred fat during the critical first weeks. Confirm with your surgeon whether a standard or open-butt garment is required for your specific procedure before ordering. Our post-surgical collection includes open-butt options for BBL recovery.
