Gynecomastia compression

A compression vest is a garment that is designed to compress or flatten the chest, in order to reduce the chance of swelling, seromas, and hematomas after gynecomastia surgery.

While many surgeons recommend a vest, Dr. Azouz will recommend compression shirts and binders.  The binders offer enhanced compression at a reasonable price.

When considering compression it is important to look at how well-made each part of the product feels: Does it feel snug? Will any seams rip easily if put under strain? Are there areas for breathability of the skin?
