How to measure for LIPOELASTIC compression bras and garments?
Always measure only in your underwear and standing up. The measuring tape should be tightly wrapped around the area to be measured, for example under the breasts or around the widest part of the breasts to determine the bra size. We recommend repeating the measurement for maximum accuracy.
Which size should I choose if I get a different size in each part?
If your measurements are between two sizes according to the size chart, we recommend choosing the smaller size to ensure optimal compression.
Which size should I choose if I get a different size in each part?
You can find out the right size by measuring the circumference under and over the breasts, and then comparing it with the size chart available for each of our bras. It is important that the bra you wear during your recovery is tight enough to provide effective compression but is also comfortable and does not cause you pain or restrict your breathing.

How to choose size of post-operative compression garment after liposuction?
When choosing compression bandages after liposuction, you can be guided by your pre-operative measurements. The fat will be suctioned out and the measurements will be smaller due to the procedure, but it is common for swelling to occur after the procedure. Variant compression bandages with hook and loop fastening allow you to adjust up to one size. This flexibility allows the bandage size to be adjusted based on the gradual reduction of swelling while still providing the required compression, support and comfort.
What if I buy postoperative garments before the procedure?
If you are shopping for a postoperative garment before the procedure, it is advisable to first consult the operating physician. It is necessary to evaluate which areas are affected by the procedure and how much the areas will change after surgery. In the case of liposuction, your pre-procedure measurements are often the appropriate measurements for your post-operative garment. Due to the swelling that occurs in the first few days of recovery, despite the loss of body fat, the area is enlarged. With breast augmentation, in general, the circumference under the breast does not change after the procedure. The size of the cups is determined by the size of the implants your surgeon recommends.
Which size should I choose if I am in between two sizes?
If you have a different recommended size for different parts according to the size chart, it is necessary to deal with the case individually. You should always consider which parts of the body will be affected after the procedure and aim for the most appropriate compression. In this case, it is recommended to choose a smaller size for those areas. Example. In the size chart, your waist measurements correspond to a size M, but your thigh measurements correspond to a size L. It would be recommended to choose a size M, as the thighs will be covered, but the main area of the procedure is the tummy and hips where maximum compression is required.

What should I do if my measurements don't fall within the standard sizes listed in the size chart?
If your measurements do not fall within the standard sizes or you find yourself in between two sizes, it is possible to ask your doctor for a customized compression garment. For some products, you can also choose an option with an adjustable fastening (Variant fastening) which allows you to adjust up to one size.
