When buying fajas, it’s important to avoid common mistakes that can hinder your experience and results. Here are some of the most frequent errors to watch out for:
- Choosing a Smaller Size for a Tighter Fit – One of the most common mistakes is selecting a smaller size to achieve a more sculpted look. However, wearing a size that’s too small won’t speed up your desired results or make you look slimmer. It can cause discomfort and potential health issues due to excessive compression. Additionally, wearing the wrong size can compromise the garment’s durability. Always choose your size based on your actual measurements!
- Choosing a Larger Size for Comfort – Another common mistake is opting for a larger size to avoid initial discomfort. If you’re new to wearing compression garments, they may feel tight at first, but your body will adapt over time. Choosing a larger size can prevent you from achieving the results you want.
- Selecting the Wrong Compression Level – It’s essential to understand the purpose of your faja before purchasing. Will you use it post-surgery, for daily wear, or during exercise? The compression level significantly affects your results. For example, in the first 3-4 weeks after surgery, a medium compression faja is recommended due to skin sensitivity and inflammation. A high compression garment during this time can be uncomfortable or even painful. After those initial weeks, you can switch to high compression to optimize surgical results, aid in shaping, and minimize the risk of fibrosis and inflammation.
