How much of it is real and how much is hype? Let’s clear the air on the most common myths and facts about fajas, especially for those wearing them for post-op recovery, waist training, or everyday body sculpting.

✅ FACT: Fajas Help Shape the Body Over Time

Colombian fajas use medical-grade compression to shape your waistline, flatten your tummy, and enhance curves. After surgery (like BBLs, lipo, or tummy tucks), fajas help the skin adhere to your new shape, reduce swelling, and prevent fluid build-up.

Even if you haven’t had surgery, daily faja wear can help contour your waist and improve posture, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

❌ MYTH: Fajas Permanently Change Your Body Without Effort

Fajas do not “melt fat” or offer permanent results on their own. They're a support tool, not a magic fix. For non-surgical users, consistent use alongside exercise and clean eating will give the best long-term results.

✅ FACT: Post-Op Fajas Are Doctor-Recommended

Most plastic surgeons recommend Stage 1 and Stage 2 fajas after procedures. These garments support healing tissues, prevent fibrosis, and help maintain surgical results.

At SexySkinz, our post-op fajas are made with the highest quality fabric and designed for real post-op bodies.

❌ MYTH: All Shapewear Is the Same as a Faja

Not true. Fashion shapewear smooths, but doesn’t shape like a real compression faja. Only medical-grade fajas provide the sculpting and support needed after surgery or for serious waist training.

✅ FACT: Fajas Boost Confidence and Improve Silhouette

Many women report feeling more confident, supported, and "put together" while wearing their faja. It offers immediate visual results and over time, can contribute to a more defined, hourglass shape.
