- SFBHA2 Stage 2 Women's High-Back, Bikini-Length Compression Girdle

I am two months post-op and wish I had found this garment sooner. After researching different compression garments, I saw that this one had very good reviews. After the hospital’s abdominal binder, my surgeon recommended the discount store brand that is similar to this in style, but it and other stage two garments that I could fit into did not provide enough compression. I have tried many, and this is my favorite for these reasons: 1. The compression is strong at the top of the abdomen, above the belly button. This is where I have had the most swelling post-op, and other garments were not as effective high on the abdomen. 2. I really like the “access” point. Other brands just have a pee hole, and those do not work for me. With other brands, I have to take the whole thing off every time I go to the bathroom. This is much better and reduces chafing on the scar from taking it on and off. 3. It is comfortable. When I needed more compression, I was going back to the hospital binder, but that is very scratchy and not smooth underneath clothes. This is a lot better. The straps felt a little uncomfortable and the leg holes seemed a little tight when I first put it on, but that eased up after wearing it. 4. The fit was good. I was unsure what size to get, as my waist measurement matched the medium but my hips matched the small. The small was perfect. I also tried the medium, and it was too big. 5. I like that it is panty length. If you want something in the higher compression side at stage 2, and want ease when going to the bathroom, I think this is an excellent choice.

Absolutely amazing post lipo garment. I have a long torso and the straps don't dig into my armpits, the crotch is tight which i need but doesn't dig into my lips as other brands have done. A little tight on my butt but I'm pear shapped so to be expected for one that is this style. I've tried others and it squeezed me too hard so it started to make the shape of my stomach weird. I switched to this one two days later and immediately everything went back to normal I couldn't be happier. They are spendy but they are worth every penny if you're going to spend the money on your liposuction it's worth spending the money on your garments. I'm 5'4 205 lb and I got the large.

This is the best tummy tuck compression I’ve found but there are still some issues. I’ve been able to wear this longer than any faja ive found which is saying a lot. But the crotch is incredibly uncomfortable so I’m only giving it 4 stars. The leg openings have a scalloped edge and the material is rough so it digs into your legs. When I’m home, I often will shove my pajama pants legs into the openings to give it some padding lol. I think if they could have used a velvety material for the edges, it would be a 5 star garment. The level of compression is great from the hips to under the ribs. It’s not too challenging to get on. The arm straps are a little uncomfortable so I use cut up rectangles of lipo foam to give me some added cushion. The side chart is accurate so be sure to follow that. I do think it’s overpriced for what is is, but again I haven’t found any other brand to do it better.

I had to put lipo foam in the inner thigh area becaus oh my god does it hurt. It has ridfes that with big thighs feel like a saw. I got the shorts and it is super comfortable but these... i would give anything in the world for them to take them back. I literally want to cry from the irritation from 1 day on. I was told that the 1st one i bough with the crotch cut out would cause vulva swelling and my dr said to switch to these.... i am assuming most of his patients don't have big legs. I bought an xl to accommodate. It leaves a little to be desired in abdominal compression but to accommodate legs id have to get xxxl. Freaking HURTS so so bad

Follow the size guidelines, it may be a larger size but just go with it. I purchased this after several cheaper dupes, should have just got this first! This was essential to my post DIEP recovery. I found the clasps very easy to undo/redo for bathroom use and idk, cleaner than open options? I ordered several more in 2xl and XL as the swelling went down. I highly recommend. A lot of the other crap out there for post DIEP recovery is commercialized and non-essential. I’d put this on the must have if you can afford it. I went to their website directly for a cheaper price when reordering.

It was snug enough to keep everything in. The straps sucked, they dug into my arms and it hurt. They need to make the straps not tight.

My doctor recommended this after I told her I was having a hard time finding a stage 2 garment. I'm 8 weeks post op tummy tuck & Lipo and this one is very comfortable. It lays smooth over my still-sensitive belly and does not cause any pain or bunching like the previous ones I've tried here. I like that it's not open-crotch. The hook closures are easy enough and I get to wear my underwear under, not over...which bothered me for some reason. I like how the back is high because it relieves the discomfort from the Lipo on the upper flanks. I still am very sore, especially in the Lipo area. Compression is even all over, fabric is very durable yet soft. The only issue is the mild discomfort of the straps creeping into my armpit area. I can deal with that though, it's not a deal breaker. This garment does what it is supposed to do for my surgery results and that's all that matters. And is a million times better than the other ones I've bought and returned these past few weeks. I am 5 ft and 135 pounds and the medium fits perfect.

This is my second Marena faja purchase. The first one I ordered a medium ( right after surgery) and was a different style ( loved it) but now I’m 5 weeks post tummy tuck and lipo and needed to size down . Love the compression and convenience of the flap to use the restroom. I noticed some of the reviews mentioned the straps we digging into skin . I have not had a problem with the straps. Definitely recommend. Makes me feel snatched ! I’m 5’6 145 lbs and ordered a small
