Breast reduction post-surgical care
The recovery time involved with this procedure is typically directly proportional to the amount of
tissue removed. A degree of temporary bruising and swelling is normal, and wearing a post-surgical
support bra or elastic bandage will aid in the reduction of these issues. It will be necessary to
take time off of work, usually around seven to fourteen days, in order to let your tissues start to
heal and recover. You should be able to return to strenuous activity in about six weeks. Once your
recovery is complete, you will have lighter breasts and a better quality of life because of it. To
