Home / Products / Post-Surgical Above the Knee Faja with Hooks NS052
Document Description Plus

The NS052 is a full body Colombian faja with a built-in wire-free bra and below the knee leg length, the same garment as the NS086 extended to cover the full thigh down to just before the calf. One garment handles compression from bust to below the knee, making it the right choice for procedures involving the thighs where standard mid-thigh fajas leave coverage gaps.

Designed for Stage 2 post-surgical recovery, Sculpt-level Powernet compression supports healing tissue from the bust down. The front-closure wire-free bra provides bust support without pressure on healing tissue -- no wires, no rods. Thick fixed straps distribute weight evenly across your shoulders for all-day comfort through recovery. Three rows of hooks give you three compression settings to tighten as you size down. Made in Colombia.

Below the knee coverage — faja made in Colombia

Three compression settings let you tighten as swelling reduces through Stage 2 recovery -- the same garment adjusts with your body from week two through the end of recovery.

Zipper crotch — faja made in Colombia

Full restroom convenience without removing the garment -- essential during post-surgical recovery when removing compression is not recommended.

Understanding compression stages

The NS052 is designed for Stage 2 of post-surgical recovery -- the phase that typically begins 2 to 4 weeks after surgery when initial swelling has reduced and your body is ready for firmer compression.

Understanding the three stages:

  • Stage 1 (days 1 to 14) -- gentle compression, easy to put on and remove. Your body is most swollen and sensitive during this phase. A front-opening or side-zipper garment is typically recommended.
  • Stage 2 (weeks 2 to 8) -- firmer Sculpt-level compression as swelling reduces. This is where the NS052 belongs. The above the knee length supports the full thigh while the built-in bra covers the bust -- no second garment needed.
  • Stage 3 (weeks 8 and beyond) -- maintenance compression for long-term shaping. Your surgeon will advise when to transition.

Always follow your surgeon's specific guidance on when to transition between stages. Every body and every procedure recovers differently.

Your recovery timeline

The NS052 is typically introduced 2 to 4 weeks after surgery, but your surgeon's guidance takes priority over any general timeline.

What to expect when wearing the NS052 during recovery:

  • Weeks 2 to 4 -- wear 20 to 22 hours per day. Remove only for showering. Start on the loosest hook setting and tighten as swelling reduces.
  • Weeks 4 to 8 -- your surgeon may reduce required wear time. Many patients move to 12 to 16 hours per day. Adjust to the middle or tightest hook setting as your body continues to reshape.
  • Weeks 8 and beyond -- transition to Stage 3 or maintenance compression as directed by your surgeon.

The built-in bra makes the NS052 particularly useful after procedures involving the upper body or breast augmentation, where a separate bra layer would create unwanted pressure on healing tissue. The above the knee length is essential for BBL, lipo 360, and any procedure where thigh contouring is included.

How to wear

Step 1 — Before stepping in, fold the silicone grip bands outward at both leg openings. This prevents them from sticking to your skin as you pull the faja up.

Step 2 — Step into the faja from the bottom and work it up your legs using a side-to-side rocking motion -- shifting your weight from one hip to the other. The above the knee length means more fabric to work up so take your time.

Step 3 — Once at your waist, position the built-in bra cups over your bust before fastening anything. Smooth the fabric so the bra sits flat and centered.

Step 4 — Fasten the bra closure first, working from the bottom hook upward. Then fasten the front body closure from the bottom up, one hook at a time, pulling the fabric inward slightly with each hook.

Step 5 — Check that the thick straps sit flat and centered on each shoulder. If they feel uneven, adjust the faja position at the waist -- the straps are fixed and do not adjust.

Step 6 — Align the side seams so they sit straight down each leg, then smooth the fabric from waist to leg openings before getting dressed.

Step 7 — Use the zipper crotch for restroom breaks -- no need to remove the garment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the NS052 and the NS086?

Both have a built-in wire-free bra, thick fixed straps, and Stage 2 Sculpt-level compression. The only difference is the leg length. The NS086 ends at mid-thigh. The NS052 extends to just above the calf, covering the full thigh. Choose the NS052 if your procedure involved the thighs -- BBL, lipo 360, or inner and outer thigh contouring. Choose the NS086 for procedures that only require mid-thigh coverage.

What stage of recovery is the NS052 designed for?

The NS052 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 tighten compression as you size down through recovery. Always follow your surgeon's specific guidance on when to transition between stages.

Is the NS052 suitable for BBL recovery?

The NS052 provides full thigh compression suitable for BBL recovery where thigh contouring is involved. However BBL recovery requires an open-butt design during the critical first weeks to avoid pressure on transferred fat. 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.

Does the built-in bra provide enough support after breast augmentation?

The NS052 bra is wire-free and rod-free with a front closure, making it suitable for post-augmentation recovery where underwire pressure on healing tissue is not recommended. It provides structured support without compression on the breast itself. Always confirm with your surgeon that this style is appropriate for your specific procedure and recovery stage.

What size should I order in the NS052?

Use your waist, hip, and bust 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.
