You spent thousands on your BBL. You endured surgery and put your life on hold. And now your results depend almost entirely on the next 8-12 weeks. The single most critical choice? The fajas you wear and HOW you wear them. Wrong faja = fat cell death = lost volume. Right fajas, worn correctly, = protected fat cells = the dramatic curves you paid for. I'm giving you the complete BBL faja protocol: every stage explained, exactly which fajas you need, and the mistakes that sabotage results. Your BBL results are being determined RIGHT NOW. This is your blueprint.
The BBL Fat Transfer Science: Why Fajas Matter
The transferred fat cells in your glutes are alive but have NO blood supply. For the first 8-12 weeks, they are waiting to either connect to blood vessels and survive, or die and be reabsorbed. Pressure on these cells restricts oxygen delivery and kills them. Studies show patients who followed a strict no-sitting protocol had 70-80% fat retention, versus 30-50% for those who sat normally. Your post BBL faja must provide ZERO pressure on the glutes while compressing lipo areas.
Understanding BBL Faja Stages: The Progression
Stage 1: Immediate Post-Op (Days 1-14)
Purpose: Acute inflammation control and maximum protection. You'll wear a BBL & Lipo Stage 1 Faja 24/7. Your body is in shock, and this faja is your security blanket.
Stage 2: Active Healing (Weeks 2-8)
Purpose: Continued inflammation control and shape refinement. You'll wear a Stage 2 faja 23 hours daily. Your fat survival is being determined in this phase. Top options include the Stage 2 BBL Faja with Built-In Bra for 360 lipo, or the Stage 2 Faja Short for minimal lipo.
Stage 3: Refinement (Weeks 8-16+)
Purpose: Maintain results as tissues stabilize. You'll wear a Stage 3 faja like the BBL & Lipo Stage 3 Strapless for 16-20 hours daily. Life feels normal, and your results look consistently good.
Stage 4: Maintenance (4+ Months)
Purpose: Long-term shape retention. Wear is optional. A Stage 4 Waist Cincher can be used for special occasions.
The BBL Sitting Protocol: Non-Negotiable Rules
This determines fat survival more than any other factor. Weeks 0-2: ZERO direct sitting. Use a Soft BBL Pillow for toileting only. Weeks 2-4: Limited sitting WITH the pillow. 15-20 mins at a time. Weeks 4-6: Extended sitting WITH the pillow. 1-2 hours at a time. Weeks 6-8: Gradual introduction of normal sitting. Start with 30 mins and increase slowly. Most surgeons clear normal sitting by week 8.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need different fajas for each stage?
R: You REALLY need different compression levels. Stage 1's compression would be unbearable for 16 weeks. Stage 3's is inadequate for week 2. Each stage matches the compression to your healing phase. It's biomechanics, not marketing.
Can I use a regular waist trainer instead of a BBL faja?
R: Absolutely not. Waist trainers can compress your BBL (killing fat) and aren't medical-grade. You need actual BBL fajas.
How many BBL fajas do I actually need?
R: Minimum viable: 1 Stage 1, 2 Stage 2 fajas, and 1 BBL pillow. This is your insurance on a $12,000 investment.
