Binding can be an important part of someone’s everyday life before top surgery — and compression garments can play an equally important role afterwards.
But comfort and safety matter.
Wearing a binder for too long, choosing the wrong size or ignoring pain and breathing difficulties can put unnecessary stress on the body. After surgery, post-surgical garments have a different purpose: supporting healing, helping manage swelling and protecting the chest during recovery.

Simple information, practical advice, and a reminder to always listen to your body.
