Macom Sizing Guide

Find your perfect Macom fit.

Sizing charts for Macom post surgery bras, abdominal binders and compression garments. If you are unsure, our specialists are here to help.

Macom is one of the most widely recommended post surgery brands in the UK, trusted by surgeons and worn by thousands of patients during recovery. Their garments are sized simply and clearly — but getting the right fit does matter. Use the charts below to find your size before ordering, and contact us if you are ever unsure.

Sizing Tip

If you are between sizes on any Macom garment, always size up. A slightly looser garment is far preferable to one that is too tight, particularly in the early weeks of recovery when skin is sensitive.

Post Surgery Bras

Macom Bra Sizing

All Macom post surgery bras feature expandable cups that mould to your new shape throughout recovery. This means you only need to know your current high street band size to find the right bra — your cup size will be accommodated automatically.

Simply find your usual bra band measurement in the chart and select the corresponding Macom size. If you are between sizes, go up.

XS 28 – 30 inch band
S 32 inch band
M 34 inch band
L 36 inch band
XL 38 inch band
XXL 40 inch band

The expandable cup means you do not need to worry about your cup size. The cup will mould to your new shape as you heal.

Abdominal Binders

Macom Abdominal Binder Sizing

Macom abdominal binders are sized by waist measurement. Measure the widest part of your waist — typically around 2 inches below your belly button — with a soft tape measure, keeping it level all the way around.

1
Measure your waist

Use a soft tape measure. Measure the widest part of your waist, approximately 2 inches below your navel.

2
Take the measurement flat

Keep the tape level and snug but not pulled tight. Breathe out naturally before measuring.

3
If between sizes, size up

If your measurement falls between two sizes on the chart, always select the larger size for post surgery wear.

Compression Garments

Macom Compression Garment Sizing

Macom compression garments — including girdles, shorts and leggings — are sized using both waist and hip measurements. This gives a more accurate fit, particularly important for garments covering the lower abdomen, hips and thighs.

Take both measurements and use the larger of the two to determine your size from the chart. If either measurement falls between sizes, select the larger size.

1
Measure your waist

The widest part of your waist, approximately 2 inches below your belly button. Keep the tape level and not pulled tight.

2
Measure your hips

The widest part of your hips, approximately 7 inches below your belly button. Stand with feet together for an accurate reading.

3
Use the larger measurement

Match the larger of your two measurements against the chart. If between sizes, always go up.
