What It Is
This is a Colombian-made Stage 2 full-body faja designed for post-surgical recovery (tummy tuck, lipo-360, Brazilian Butt Lift) or for shaping and support during the healing period. Stage 2 garments are used after the initial post-op or immediate recovery stage (Stage 1) and are intended for higher compression, more structured support, and longer wear to help with swelling, skin retraction, contouring, and comfort.
M&D’s faja model (often referenced with code “0161” for the long-sleeve version) includes arms, covers from mid-thigh to upper torso (long leg / knee-length), often with sleeves. It includes features such as a built-in bra, crotch zipper, hook closures, silicone bands to prevent rolling, and full back support.
Key Features & Specifications
From the available product information, here are the main features:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Fabric & Construction | High-compression Powernet blended with nylon, elastane, plus cotton lining in some variants for comfort. Breathable yet firm. |
| Length & Coverage | Full body design: long / knee-length legs, full back coverage, full torso, sometimes with sleeves for arm compression (e.g. model 0161). |
| Built-In Bra / Bust Support | Many versions let you use your own bra or have built-in bra features. Offers support in chest area without restricting breathing too much. |
| Closures & Zipper | Two rows (or more) of hook-and-eye closures in front plus crotch/opening zipper for restroom convenience. |

What It’s Good For
-
Post-operative compression (after liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL) once cleared for Stage 2 by your surgeon.
-
Reducing swelling, helping with contour, skin retraction.
-
Providing support for back, abdomen, hips, arms (if sleeves included).
-
Helping posture due to full back coverage.
-
Daily compression use (often 12-23 hours/day recommended) as recovery progresses.
Pros & Cons
Here are the strengths and potential drawbacks:
✅ Pros
-
High Compression / Firm Support — Offers good firm hold needed in Stage 2 to continue shaping and healing. Users report noticeable flattening of abdomen, improved contour.
-
Full Body Design — Covers more areas (hips, back, thighs, arms in some versions) for holistic compression and shaping.
-
Convenient Features — Zipper crotch, hook closures, anti-roll leg bands, built-in or bust-friendly bra designs help with usability and comfort.
-
Durable & Quality Materials — Powernet / nylon / elastane blends that are fairly breathable and resilient. Multiple user reviews cite material holds up well.
❌ Cons
-
Sizing is tricky — Many users find it fits snug; may need to size based on measurements rather than regular clothing size. A wrong size can be painful or reduce efficacy.
-
Comfort & Heat — High compression garments can be warm, especially with full-coverage design or in hot climates. Some report discomfort in thighs or under arms when seated or bending.
-
Putting It On / Off — Difficulty due to tightness and closures; sometimes zipper or hooks can be hard to reach or require assistance.
-
Arm Strap / Strap Discomfort — If it includes shoulder straps or sleeves, these can dig or cause irritation if not wide/padded enough.
Usage / Recovery Tips
-
Always follow your surgeon’s instructions on when to transition to Stage 2 garment.
-
Wear for the recommended hours per day (often 12-23 hours), gradually increasing as tolerated.
-
Use a tank top or thin layer under the faja to prevent skin rubbing.
-
Keep closures and zipper clean and aligned; avoid overstretching or forcing.
-
Wash gently (usually hand-wash, cold water) and air-dry to preserve compression.
-
Monitor skin: if you feel numbness, severe discomfort, or restricted breathing, reduce wear or consult a professional.
Sample User Review

“I started using my M&D Stage 2 full body faja (long sleeve version) about 3 weeks after my tummy tuck + lipo-360. It has helped with swelling and contouring my waist-to-hip area. The built-in bra and zipper in the crotch are very helpful—no need to undress completely for bathroom breaks. It is firm, so first few days are a bit uncomfortable, especially around thighs and under the arms. But the comfort improves with time. Just make sure you measure accurately. If I need to pick one improvement, I’d say straps could be softer. Overall, I feel more supported and my shape is smoother under clothes. Very pleased.”
Final Verdict
The M&D Full Body Faja Stage 2 is a strong option for anyone needing serious shaping and compression after surgeries like tummy tuck, BBL, or liposuction. It delivers the firmness, coverage, and features that help support healing, contouring, and shape maintenance.
For people who value structure, firm compression, full-body support, and medical-grade design, this garment is very good. Just be careful with sizing, and expect a short break-in period before it feels comfortable.
