Before you order a faja, there are some questions only your surgeon can answer.

Tributo can help with measurements, style, stage options, straps, flap style, coverage, and custom details. Your surgeon guides the medical plan: when to start compression, which areas need support, which restrictions matter, and which symptoms to take seriously.

Compression Timing

Ask when your surgeon wants you to begin wearing compression and how long they expect you to wear it each day. Timing can vary by procedure, incision status, swelling, drains, and recovery plan.

Our Compression Experts, can guide you through measurements, style options, stage selection, straps, flap style, coverage, custom details, and garment features that may support your recovery routine. If you are preparing for surgery, you can also start your compression plan with us from the beginning, including a Stage 1 faja option, so you feel more prepared before your procedure.

Compression Timing

Ask your surgeon when they want you to begin wearing compression and how long they expect you to wear it each day. Timing can vary depending on your procedure, incision status, swelling, drains, and recovery plan.

If you do not have clear instructions from your doctor, you can book a call with one of our Compression Experts. They can help you understand general stage options and guide you through what to consider before choosing your faja.

If your surgery is coming up, they can help you review whether a Stage 1 faja may be the right starting point for your early recovery. If you are already post-op, they can help you understand whether your current stage still fits your measurements, comfort, and compression needs.

Drains and Accessories

If drains, foams, boards, or pads are part of your recovery, ask your surgeon when they should be used and where they should sit. These details can affect the style, coverage, and space you may need in your faja.

If you are not sure how those accessories may interact with your garment, our Compression Experts can help you review practical details like coverage, flap style, straps, and fit considerations. This can be especially helpful before ordering, because some details are easier to plan before the garment is made.

If You Do Not Have Clear Post-Op Guidance

Not every patient receives the same level of instruction after surgery. If your doctor did not explain what type of faja to use, which stage to choose, or how to think about compression, you are not alone.

Tributo can help you understand the garment side of recovery: measurements, compression stages, custom options, and comfort details. We cannot replace your surgeon’s medical instructions, but we can help you feel less lost when choosing the faja that will support your day-to-day recovery.

Symptoms Are Not Product Questions

Some concerns should always go directly to your surgeon or healthcare provider. If you experience strong pain, sudden swelling, shortness of breath, fever, drainage, numbness, skin color changes, or anything that feels unusual, contact your medical team.

Those symptoms should not be handled as a faja feature question.

Final Thoughts

The best time to plan your faja is before you need it. If you are preparing for surgery, booking a call before your procedure can help you understand your Stage 1 options, your measurements, and the custom details that may matter during early recovery.
