Not Sure If You Need Stage 1, 2, or 3? Let’s Find the Right One for YouUpdated a month ago

By Fajas Tributo
If you just had liposuction, a BBL,mommy makeover, or a tummy tuck and any plastic surgery, you’ve probably heard your surgeon mention “Stage 1,” “Stage 2,” or “Stage 3” compression fajas, and you might be wondering…
What’s the actual difference? And when do I switch?
Don’t worry, we’re breaking it down in a simple, real-life way so you feel confident choosing the right post-surgery faja for your recovery.
Because wearing the correct stage at the correct time can truly impact your healing and final results.
Stage 1: Your Gentle Start (Days 0–10 Post-Op)
This is the faja you wear immediately after surgery. Your body is swollen. Tender. Sensitive. Healing. Stage 1 is made with super soft fabric and medium compression so you get support without overwhelming fresh incisions. |  |
Why it’s perfect for early recovery:
- Light, tailored compression to reduce swelling
- Four-way stretch fabric that adapts to your body
- No bra attached (great for post-op or postpartum use)
- Closed straps for comfort
- Includes foams for a smoother, softer fit
- Space for ab boards and recovery aids
- Hourglass sizing (hips slightly larger than waist)
This stage isn’t about aggressive sculpting. It’s about protecting your results while your body begins to heal.
Pro tip: Order it at least 10 days before surgery so it’s ready for you when you come home.
Stage 2: Where the Sculpting Begins (Around Weeks 2–3)
Once your incisions are fully healed and your surgeon gives you the green light, it’s time to move into Stage 2.
Stage 2 offers higher compression designed to mold, define, and refine your new shape after liposuction, tummy tuck, or BBL.
At this stage, you have two options depending on the level of structure and compression you’re ready for:
Serena vs Powernet
SERENA (Rod-Free | Smart Support)
Designed for the early months post-op and for sensitive skin, Serena offers firm but gentle compression without rods. It’s ideal if you’re not ready for structured corset compression yet. This is where you start refining your shape, with comfort. |
What makes Serena different:
|  |
Serena helps:
- Control swelling gently
- Provide secure abdominal support
- Smooth your silhouette under clothing
- Transition comfortably from Stage 1
- Sculpt without harsh pressure
Perfect if you’re new to firm compression or prefer flexibility with control.
POWERNET (With Rods | Corset Effect)
Ready to level up your sculpting? Our Stage 2 Powernet faja is for women who want stronger structure and maximum waist definition during recovery. Built with 6 rods and corset-inspired construction, this garment delivers amplified compression and a more dramatic hourglass effect. This is where shaping becomes more defined and structured. |
 | What makes Powernet different:

Powernet helps:
- Control swelling with higher compression
- Mold and define the waist
- Secure the abdomen firmly
- Enhance hips and buttocks
- Create a more pronounced hourglass shape
Ideal if you're ready for structured compression and enhanced sculpting.
Stage 3: Maximum Definition (2+ Months Post-Op)
Once you’re 2+ months into recovery and your incisions are fully healed, Stage 3 is where your final definition happens.
This stage is designed to eliminate residual swelling, intensify waist sculpting, and perfect your surgical results.
You can choose between two levels of intensity:
Aphrodite vs Powernet

So… When Should You Switch?
Here’s the simple version:
- Just had surgery → Stage 1
- Incisions closed (2–3 weeks) → Stage 2
- 2+ months post-op & used to compression → Stage 3
Always follow your surgeon’s instructions first, but now you understand what each stage is actually doing for your body.
