This is an amazing product I love how it snatched my body. I only use the Faja during the weekend because it puts a lot of pressure on my shoulders. So once I feel the discomfort I tuck in the straps and use the faja as a strapless. Im not sure if height is an issue but I am 5’8. The zipper was an issue at 1st because it would pinched my skin But I found a way around it. I am planning on purchasing stage 2 medium
