Sizing Guide

a) Please enter this sentence ' Carefix post op bra size guide ' to Y o u T u b e search bar to view the guidance on how to take the correct measurements. Then refer to one of the attached listing images for Sizing Chart.

b) Please refer to the listing images for Step-by-Step guide on taking the correct measurement. To find the correct size of your bra, always measure yourself, while wearing an unpadded bra.

Step 1
Measure around your body, just under your breast (band size), see 'Band Size' listing image

Step 2
Measure around your body, at the fullest part of the breast (bust size), see 'Bust Size' listing image

Step 3
The difference between these two measurements gives the cup size, see 'Cup size' listing image

Centimeters / Cup Size

10 - 12 cm = Cup AA
12 - 14 cm = Cup A
14 - 16 cm = Cup B
16 - 18 cm = Cup C
18 - 20 cm = Cup D
20 - 22 cm = Cup E

Step 4
Now use the Band Size and Cup Size to find the Bra Size, see 'Find Your Size' and 'Sizing Chart' listing images

**NOTE**

Carefix advises to measure yourself after your surgery, but since most patients need to have their bra with them by the time of their surgery, they suggest that you can still measure before your surgery. Simply find the size you fall under using the Sizing Chart (please refer to one of the listing images) , then go up one or two sizes to account for the possible swelling. For less compression go up 2 sizes, for more compression go up one size.

**PRECAUTIONS**
If you have any questions regarding use and correct fitting, please consult your doctor or nurse. Make sure that any bandages and/or drainage tubes underneath the bra are placed correctly to avoid pressure points and/or obstructed flow from the drainage tubes. The bra must be removed during radiotherapy, as it contains metal parts. If any unexpected discomfort, wound irritation or similar occurs, please consult your doctor or nurse. For breast augmentations, a stabilizer band for breast implants may also be required. Consult your doctor or surgeon before use. Always follow the surgeon's recommendations.
