In the fitting room, the first steps are to confirm the surgery and the garment nominated by the Surgeon, discuss how after-surgery swelling and/or change in body shape may affect garment fit – and to take body measurements.

When each measurement gives the same chart size, the garment is likely to achieve a good fit. If one or more measurements give a different size a judgement must be made about the size discrepancy and the area of surgery. For some clip fastening garments, extenders may be an option. If another garment type, or a combination of garments, is needed to achieve a ‘good enough’ fit, the surgeon is contacted to confirm that the garment(s) is acceptable.

The garment can then be fitted to see if feelings about ‘tightness of fit’ affect a ‘good fit’. ‘Tightness’ can be felt in the fitting room, but not ONLINE. As guide, a measurement at the upper end of a size range will have a ‘tighter’ fit and at the lower end it will have a ‘less firm’ fit.

Then, with the garment on, guidance is provided on how to wear, adjust and care for the garment post-surgery.
