Product Notes

To better manage post-operative swelling, garments usually extend beyond the area of surgery. Review the product information to verify that the garment width provides sufficient vertical cover.

The surgeon may nominate wearing a binder for post-surgery recovery after liposuction. Depending on the extent of surgery, it may also be a less expensive option than a compression garment.

When a binder is used after liposuction, a non-split binder can be a better option because there is less risk of a gap between the panels leaving a mark in the skin.

The split, two-part Velcro fastener allows for easier fitting. Wrap the binder around the abdomen, stretch it to give a firm fit, close the top fastener, then repeat to close the bottom fastener.

When swelling reduces and mobility improves, a compression garment can be a more comfortable and discreet second garment option to wear under clothing.

Measuring Tips

Measure to the nearest centimetre.

A flexible cloth tape is best. Alternatively, use non-stretch fabric or a belt, mark the size and then measure the length with a metal tape or ruler. Avoid string because it presses into the skin and flexible metal tapes because they wrap unevenly.

Having someone else measure is better. Wear underwear, stand still and upright, relax and breathe out, then measure against the skin. If self-measuring, use a mirror to check posture and that the tape is level and wrapped firmly (but not tightly) around the body.

Sizing Suggestions

Binder width is usually determined by the cover needed for the garment to extend beyond the area of surgery (incision) or the immediate area needing support or compression in the case of a hernia.

Width can be affected by torso length. For a longer torso, a wider binder may be needed to provide appropriate cover. For a shorter torso, a narrower binder may need to avoid it pressing into the bra band (female) or groin when sitting.
