How to choose

Compare three details before you choose a top

The best option depends on the coverage requested for your recovery plan and whether sleeve edges, cup areas or closures cross sensitive areas.

01 · Sleeve coverage
Check where the sleeve ends

Compare elbow and longer sleeve options according to the area your provider wants covered. Pay attention to where the sleeve edge will rest.

02 · Bust access
Open-bust or built-in cup?

Open-bust styles can allow a separate bra when appropriate, while built-in cup styles combine bust support and upper-body coverage in one piece.

03 · Front closure
Compare zippers and hooks

Front closures may reduce reaching behind the body, but the closure itself should not sit across a sensitive or treated area.

Upper-body recovery collection

Compare all three recovery tops

Compare sleeve length, bust configuration and closure placement, then review the individual product page for sizing and fit details.

Fit & safety

Three checks before wearing the garment

Follow the placement and tension instructions from the clinician overseeing your recovery rather than using tightness alone as a measure of fit.

01 Match the treated area

Confirm whether your recovery plan calls for upper-back, chest, shoulder or arm coverage before choosing sleeve length or bust configuration.

02 Check edges & closures

Review where sleeve openings, seams, hooks and zippers will sit and avoid placing them across an area your provider has told you to protect.

03 Stop and seek guidance

Stop wearing the garment and contact your care team for sharp pain, numbness, unusual discoloration, breathing difficulty or concerning pressure.

Provider-first reminder

This shopping page does not replace medical advice. Follow the surgeon or healthcare provider overseeing your recovery for garment type, coverage, support level, wear time and when to stop or change a garment.

Common questions

Recovery Tops & Arm Garment Questions

When is an open-bust recovery top useful?

It can allow a separate bra when the provider does not require the bust itself to be enclosed by the top.

How should I choose sleeve length?

Use the treated area and provider instructions, then check where the sleeve opening will sit.

Are front closures easier after a procedure?

They may reduce reaching, but the closure position must still be comfortable and appropriate.

Can I wear a normal bra with these tops?

That depends on the open-bust design and the instructions for your recovery plan.

What symptoms mean the fit needs review?

Sharp pain, numbness, unusual discoloration, breathing difficulty or pressure on a sensitive area require prompt review.
