Our compression wraps are perfect for wearing after top surgery to keep swelling down without needing to lift your arms. For post-op use going fully flat, please measure the chest just under the arms (the measurement above the bust, NOT BELOW!) and order the size that is at least 2"/5cm larger than that circumference. If you are getting a radical reduction, get a size larger. Keep in mind there will be swelling after surgery. The measurements listed below are the actual length of the item, so you need to get one that is longer than the circumference of your chest. There's really no risk with going for a LARGER SIZE than you think you need, as these bands offer plenty of surface area for the special no-scratch velcro to hook anywhere along the outer layer of the band, tighten as much as needed, and secure your bind firmly! NEVER SIZE DOWN. These soft bands of high quality elastic now come in 8 premade sizes: XS - 70cm S - 80cm M - 90cm L - 100cm XL - 110cm 2X - 130cm 3X - 150cm 4X - 170cm 2 of these can be purchased and spliced to create custom plus sizes, but please remember to leave a note at checkout requesting they be combined to your size: 5X - 2 "L" (100cm bands spliced) to create a wrap approximately 190cm long 6X - 2 "XL" (110cm bands spliced) to create a wrap approximately 210cm long Our original stock (sizes XS-XL) is 16cm wide and the new stock (up to size 4X) is 18cm wide, to keep you as comfortable as possible. We find that wider wraps tend to bite into the armpits and/or waist more. We also believe it is best to avoid compression around the digestive tract when possible. This item's black color prevents staining, but it can be bleached for decontamination. Machine wash and dry it with the rest of your synthetic garments on low heat, or alone on delicate. These wraps offer semi-rigid compression ideal for the first 1-3 weeks after surgery (or as recommended by your surgeon). Our softer Zip Binder (available in XXS-6X) is a very comfortable post-op option, as long as the patient's range of movement allows for safely getting arms through the armholes. If purchasing a Zip Binder for post-op use, please only use your upper chest measurement for sizing. For those going fully flat, we recommend going 1 size down or 2 sizes in the stretchier "lightweight" version. For those getting a radical reduction, we recommend getting the size listed in the chart for your upper chest measurement, or 1 size down in the "lightweight" version. Our post-op compression wrap is intended for use after surgery to reduce swelling and help with recovery. Though customers have left good reviews using this compression wrap as a strapless binder, we are obligated to let you know that binders with velcro closures may bind unevenly, so please be safe and close these in the center front, for any kind of use. Do not use if allergic to nylon, cotton, terylene polyester, or rubber elastane.
