A mí padre le funcionó para volver a su trabajo después de tener una operación en su pecho

I recently had a double mastectomy due to cancer and developed a seroma on the left. I needed chest compression that would work for my body type. This was tight enough to compress, low enough to not rub my armpit crease raw and comfortable enough to sleep in. I know it shows a guy wearing it but this is by far the best thing I found for after double mastectomy surgey if you're going flat and you're fluffy. The only thing I had issues with is the shoulder straps kept falling down. Since I have this issue with bras, sundresses etc too, I just criss crossed them. But it saved me alot of headache since the belly band they gave me didn't work.

I got this to help with swelling after having a mastectomy with lymph node removal. I put it on over a thin t-shirt and wore it about an hour. It seemed to help at first then I started feeling burning and irritation under my arm. It wasn't too tight but the irritation continued to get worse. I finally took it off and discovered there were hard plastic and very sharp fibers poking through the binding and they were poking into my flesh causing the irritation. I really do think this would have helped but I'm afraid to order another one because I'm afraid it will be no different and I can't afford to risk getting an infection if these sharp fibers were to break the skin.

Good fit and it’s adjustable. Good material, though it would irritate if used in direct contact to skin because of friction. I would recommend to wear some underwear below this.

this was not strong enough for after open heart surgery as it moved too much and wasn't padded in front were metal plate on breast bone added pain besides ribs trying to go back together but may be good for lesser rib injury
