Liposuction Girdle Repurposed for Fashion

The Faja is surging in popularity. It’s basically a girdle, used primarily for liposuction patients after they’ve had surgery. The New York Times says it’s especially popular with young Latinas, who used it as a short cut to an hourglass figure.  One woman says the appeal is simple:  her love handles disappear the second she put on her Faja.
