Hey, fam! Aaron here, your favorite Tennessee transguy, and today I want to give you the lowdown on the products that made my top surgery recovery a whole lot smoother. It’s no secret that going through this process can be tough, but fear not, because I’ve got your back and these top surgery products were key for me having a smooth recovery. So, kick back and dive into these must-have products and the advice that I’ve learned from my friends for an easier top surgery recovery.

1. Post-Surgery Binder:

Okay, let’s start with the basics. I wondered if they were going to send me home in a binder, what kind it’d be, or if I needed to buy a post-surgery binder. So my overplanning brain bought this zip-up binder just in case. And I’m glad I did. It wasn’t a necessity because they did provide me with one that I could have used beyond 7 days and it’d been just fine if I was on a stricter budget, but it wasn’t as comfortable after the first week. My surgeon told me I didn’t have to wear my binder after 7 days so that was dope. But I still wore the one I purchased for a week after that because I liked protecting the incisions and my nips as they healed. I thought I’d be using it a lot longer so ask your surgeon how long you need to wear it.

But for what I had to do post-surgery, I needed a good quality post-surgery binder to give the necessary compression and support, making me feel more comfortable during the healing process. Here’s the one I bought with me in it. I got an XL and it was tight on me so get a size up if you get this one!
