After Breast Reduction Surgery

How Will I Feel After Breast Reduction Surgery?

Post-operatively, most patients experience minimal discomfort from breast reduction surgery via liposculpture. They are only in the recovery room for about two hours and then they go home. Dressings are worn for the first day or two and compression garments for 24 hours for the first two weeks, followed by six weeks of 12 hours a day, plus a very supportive bra. This is an all-important step as it enables the skin to shrink back into shape without stretching or bagging. Patients are encouraged to resume normal activities as soon as they feel up to it.
