Stage 2 begins when the initial post-op swelling has reduced enough to move out of your surgical compression, typically between weeks 2 and 6, depending on your surgeon's protocol. This is when shaping actually begins.

A Stage 2 faja applies firm, graduated compression across the treatment areas, helping the skin retract, discouraging fibrosis, and actively sculpting the silhouette your surgeon created. Wearing the wrong garment at this stage, or skipping to shapewear too early, can compromise everything you've invested in.

What to look for in a Stage 2 faja: reinforced boning, adjustable closures for changing body dimensions, breathable compression fabric, and coverage that extends across all treated zones.
