What brand of compression garment do you recommend after a brachioplasty? (Photo)

flufferdoodle
My wound specialist wants me to purchase one. My surgeon did not prescribe a compression garment. I have been referred to a wound specialist that wants me to wear one for non-healing axilla wounds at 4.5 weeks. What brand do you prefer? Can I purchase online? Do you think the swelling from not initially wearing a garment could have caused wound separation? Thanks for your help!
