Let’s spill the tea.

🩵 Why Compression Is More Than Just “Tight Clothing”First, a shout-out to the faja itself. This isn’t just a post-surgery outfit — it’s your recovery companion. A good faja offers:

• Support for your new shape

• Compression to help with comfort and contouring

• A smoother silhouette as you heal

Here’s something fascinating: after surgery, your body naturally works to manage fluid in the affected areas. Some people even describe a “bounce-back” effect. While certain lymphatic pathways may be disrupted, many lymph nodes remain intact and active. 

The gentle, consistent pressure from a faja helps your body redistribute and reabsorb some of that fluid, which is then eliminated naturally — often through the urinary system. Isn’t the body amazing?

Rods: The Secret Boost Your Faja Need

Now, let’s meet the unsung heroes that take your faja to the next level—the incredible rods! Think of them as your personal support team, quietly working inside your faja to provide steady, medically effective compression, sculpt your curves, and add extra stability. 

So…Curious how these inserts boost your recovery and why you’ll love them? Let’s break it down:

Keeping Swelling Under Control
Rods team up with your faja to manage postoperative swelling. By applying consistent pressure, they help minimize fluid retention, ensuring your curves heal beautifully and that you can enjoy your results without unwanted puffiness in the future.

Shaping While You Heal
Looking to accentuate those killer curves? The rods have your back — from your tummy to your derriere! They work their magic by contouring your body during recovery, making sure your final results align perfectly with your vision. 

Without rods, your faja is basically a glorified swimsuit — and how much compression can a swimsuit really provide? As swelling forms, rods help hold the pressure in place at medically effective mmHg levels. Removing them can actually prolong your healing process.

Preventing Compression Gaps
Don’t worry—the rods have got you covered! They provide essential support to areas prone to sagging or uneven healing. Every time you twist, bend, or move, your lower abdomen loses some pressure — just like when a waist trainer without rods rolls down or folds up.

Rods keep your faja’s compression even throughout your recovery, preventing unwanted shifts and helping you stay on track.

Comfort + Scar Support
Let’s not forget comfort! The rods provide extra support and gentle relief exactly where your body needs it most — those tender, sensitive areas. This makes your recovery journey smoother, more comfortable, and even a little more enjoyable.

The Takeaway
Rods aren’t just “extra pieces”—they’re a quiet but powerful ally in your post-op recovery. If you’re looking for a faja that combines this feature with the right level of support, some of our models have been favorites among clients during this stage of healing.

Reminder:

• Stage 2: Use fajas with rods only, typically after 2-3 weeks of your surgery, once your incisions are fully healed.

Exclusive Feature

In our Stage 2 faja, besides the rods, you also have the option to add a special reinforcement in the FUPA area . This provides extra support right where you need it most during this phase, keeping compression firm and even.

• Stage 3: Use fajas with rods + latex, ideally 2–3 months after surgery, for extra compression and shaping.

Choose the right model for your stage and give your transformation the support it deserves!
