Underworks Mens Extreme Gynecomastia Pre-Surgical Post-Surgical Chest Binder Vest - Stage 1 Lipo Vest 980

Ordered based upon my measurements and it fits perfectly. If you are purchasing this for it’s marketed use as a post surgical binder, you dont need to size up. If you are purchasing this to bind your breasts, size up. The reviews on this product are confusing/misleading. The product fits as expected for its marketed use, obvs if a person *has* breasts they would need a larger size.

Had gynecomastia surgery (15 years too late) - surgeon just suggested very tight under armour but I read hundreds of suggestions online from other surgeons urging the use of a stage 1 compression vest to help get the best result post surgery so for the price this seemed wise to try to wear for the first 2-3-4 weeks to help keep swelling down and hopefully help my skin retract some.Definitely more support than just under armour and helps keep pain pretty much non existent due to the constant pressure over the entire chest wall. When I took it off to shower 8 days post op (I had an abdominoplasty at the same time - dropped 100 lbs over 2 years and had lots of excess lower abdominal skin that had to go) and without the vest on I was immediately reminded that I had my chest operated on via random sharp pain and dull stinging. This vest keeps that from happening and I feel will help me get a better end result but I am already thrilled with being rid of the chunks of breast tissue that basically ruined my life up until this point.

I ordered the 3X. I have (barely) D breasts and it compresses them very well, but it's tight around the midsection since I'm a pretty round guy. The latches make it very easy to put on and take off, and they're well-hidden under most clothing. (Maybe don't wear a leotard, but you should be fine with fitted shirts and tanks.) It's very comfortable, and I can easily bend and move around with it. If you don't wear a tight bottom with it, it can slide around a bit because of the material, but that's a slight annoyance at worst. IMO, this is better than the cropped versions and the econo versions at compressing the chest, and if you can afford this option, I'd definitely go for it.

I purchased this binder vest in anticipation of gynecomastia excision surgery for the second time (I first had it two years ago, but it wasn't entirely successfull). Immediately upon getting the surger done, the surgeon put this vest on and asked me to keep it on for a few days. Four days out from surgery, I have almost no bruising at all, and none of the fluid collection that I experienced the first time around.The vest is legit - it holds everything in place that it should, but is breathable and flexible enough to wear all day.The only draw back is that you can see the clasps under a t-shirt, which sort of resemnbles a corset or bra, but for men who are wearing dress shirts and button downs, this is the perfect choice post surgery, or to just smooth out a bit before wearing a slim fitting outfit. 10/10 would recommend.I purchased a size up from what I normally wear and was glad I did, anything smaller would be very tight.

Ordered the recommended size, and unfortunately was a bit too small immediately post-op comfort-wise. When I was about a month out I tried again, and it fit from the waist up perfect, however it would not stay down and wanted to roll up constantly.If your hips are similar size or smaller than your chest this should work great, and I can recommend it! If you're a heavy guy like me, buy a half-binder and save yourself the annoying rolling. (This is what I ended up doing)

Product sucked! XL fit more like a large and it was cutting into my arm pits. Hurt like hell! Wore it for two days and eventually, it tore st the seems. The material was very rigid and hard on the skin. For a product that’s supposed to be good for post surgery, they sure knew how to make it as cheap as possible and charge as much as possible. It should be made out of soft material. You might as well cut out a potatoe sack and wear that to compare to the comfort level of this product. I’ll never buy it again!

I'm... amazed. This does almost exactly what I want it to.I ordered a size larger than I measured for because I saw in some of the reviews that it would fit better if I did. As soon as I put it on and fixed my chest in there (down and out folks. push down and out.), I was completely amazed. I wasn't completely flat, but I didn't expect to be with a set of 36 DDs. It was pretty damn close, though. The material is comfortable enough that I don't wear anything between it and my skin. The fit is comfortable enough that I have almost no discomfort even after 10+ hours of wearing it.Three things though.1) The length makes it roll up at the bottom, and even tucking it into pants doesn't fix that. It does mean, however, that it can be folded up for extra compression on the chest.2) I end up with weird lumps where my breasts sit, and (it may be a nervous tick but) I keep having to adjust myself under the binder.3) While the hook-and-eye front is incredible and makes it really easy to put on, it does mean that I can't wear just the binder.I love it. So much. It makes me feel better about myself when I wear it, and the problems are minor compared to the relief I feel when I look at myself in the mirror.

Bought this chest binder after my surgery. It works well while at home but I wouldn't recommend using it for going out. I used it under my button up dress shirts and it became very noticeable that I was wearing a compression garment under my dress shirt and undershirt. It sort of shifted my chest fat to the top making a weird bulge near my collar bone. Also the bottom part kept rolling up making it visible that something was rolled up. I wore it during the summer and it made me sweat a lot.I did like it because it offered the necessary compression that I needed so I mostly just used it at home where magically didn't gave me any issues. So for that I give it 4 stars because it did the job in private.

Purchased this not for comfort, but do do the specific task of compressing my chest after surgery. Compresses evenly and very firmly, and does its job well.I'm 5'7 and bought the M which says it fits 36-39" chest. With a armpit measurement of 38.5" and a "mid-ribcage" of 37", it fits my chest snugly, just as it should. HOWEVER be aware that its torso is long and the waist 'nips in' a lot. Guys who are shorter or with a stomach ≥ their chest measurement may find it pulls up or doesn't fit well in the waist and hips. Made of stiff, stretchy net-like fabric; sturdy and well-made. The difference between this "Extreme" compression binder and the other underworks binder that looks the same is that this one has TWO LAYERS of fabric in the front panels of the vest. Definitely recommended for after surgery because it is so easy to put on, but I would have wanted something else for everyday wear.

I love the product because it was exactly what I was looking for in a chest binder. I wear Dcup bras and this managed to flatten my chest soo much. I'd recommend buying a size bigger if you are the limit to the size chart.

Size fits fine. I have a C cup and it flattens fine. Not uncomfortable, pretty good binder
