This is one of the biggest concerns after surgery:
“Is my faja too tight… or not tight enough?”
The answer is critical—because the right level of compression directly affects your results.
The Ideal Fit
Your faja should feel:
- snug and supportive
- firm, but not painful
You should still be able to:
- breathe comfortably
- move (with some restriction)
- sit or stand without sharp pain
Signs It’s Too Tight
- numbness or tingling
- difficulty breathing
- deep skin marks
- extreme discomfort
If your faja is too tight, it can:
- restrict circulation
- delay healing
- cause complications
Signs It’s Too Loose
- no compression feeling
- shifting or rolling
- lack of support
If it’s too loose, it won’t:
- control swelling
- shape your body effectively
Why Adjustability Matters
Your body changes daily after surgery.
That’s why high-quality fajas include:
- multiple rows of hooks
- adjustable compression levels
This allows you to tighten gradually as swelling goes down.
The Bottom Line
Compression should be progressive, not extreme.
👉 If you’re unsure, always choose comfort + proper support over overly tight compression.
