Recovery
For the first few weeks after breast reduction surgery, you may experience soreness, bruising and swelling; these can usually be managed with painkillers. You will be encouraged to walk around as soon as possible after your procedure. For the first month after breast reduction surgery, it is recommended that you refrain from exercise and heavy lifting. Scars will remain at the incision sites, but they will be small enough that a swimsuit can cover them.
Risks
All surgical procedures carry a risk of complications. Although their occurrence is rare, risks associated with breast reduction surgery may include adverse reactions to the anesthesia, breast asymmetry, infection, blood clots, persistent pain, and undesired scarring. To minimize the occurrence of complications, always choose a board-certified plastic surgeon for your procedure and follow all instructions carefully.
