Macom Medical post surgery garments

Macom Medical is one of the most clinically respected post surgery compression brands available in the UK. Designed specifically for surgical recovery rather than adapted from sportswear or shapewear, every Macom garment is engineered to apply consistent, graduated compression across the surgical site while remaining genuinely comfortable to wear through the early weeks of healing.

We stock the full Macom range at The Fitting Service, including post surgery bras, comfort bras, side fastening girdles, compression bodysuits, high back girdles, and maternity garments. If you are unsure which Macom garment is right for your surgery, we are happy to advise before you order.

Getting your Macom size right

Macom garments are sized from body measurements, not clothing size. Because compression garments must apply a specific level of pressure to be clinically effective, ordering by your usual dress or bra size is likely to result in the wrong fit. Please measure yourself before ordering and refer to the Macom sizing guide for the specific garment you are considering, as sizing can vary between product lines.

  • For bras: measure your underbust in centimetres immediately after surgery while any surgical bra or dressing is in place, or as directed by your surgeon
  • For girdles and bodysuits: measure your natural waist and hips at their widest point
  • If you fall between sizes, size up to accommodate post surgical swelling in the first weeks
  • Macom garments should feel firm but not restrictive — you should be able to breathe comfortably
  • Contact us if you are unsure which size to order and we will help you work it out

Common Questions

Macom garments answered

Which Macom garment is right for my surgery?

This depends on the area of your body that was operated on and your surgeon's specific instructions. As a general guide: for breast surgery, a Macom post surgery bra or comfort bra is typically recommended. For tummy tuck, abdominal liposuction, or C-section recovery, a side fastening girdle or high back girdle is usually most appropriate. For combined procedures, a compression bodysuit may be suggested. If you are unsure, please contact us or speak to your surgical team before ordering.

How long should I wear my Macom garment each day?

Your surgeon will give you specific guidance on wearing times, and their advice always takes priority. In general, most post surgical compression garments are worn continuously for the first two to four weeks, including during sleep, and then transitioned to daytime wear only for a further four to six weeks. Macom garments are designed to be comfortable enough for extended daily wear without causing skin irritation.

Can I wash my Macom garment?

Yes Macom garments are hand washable. Avoid using fabric softner, tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning, as heat can damage the elastic fibres and reduce the compression level over time. Many patients order two garments so they can alternate and wash one while wearing the other. This also extends the lifespan of each garment considerably.

What is the difference between the Macom side fastening girdle and a standard girdle?

The side fastening design allows you to adjust the fit of the garment as swelling reduces in the days and weeks following surgery. A standard pull-on girdle is sized at a fixed compression level, which can become too loose as swelling settles. The side fastening girdle lets you tighten the garment incrementally, maintaining effective compression throughout your recovery without needing to buy a second, smaller garment mid-recovery.
