The Ogee Faja, with its ultra-compression Powernet fabric and hook and eye enclosure, is designed to be cinched up to four levels.

After a tummy tuck or liposuction, most surgeons will advise their patients to wear a faja or compression garment of some sort, but wearing a faja after a BBL specifically, is absolutely vital to preserving your results.
