Though the breast reduction procedure is relatively quick, preparation should begin weeks in advance for adequate recovery. Since you’ll be under the effects of anesthesia, we recommend scheduling a ride home from surgery for safety purposes. To be as comfortable as possible at home after surgery you should have the following supplies on hand: ice, sanitary washcloths/towels, gauze, loose t-shirts, and recommended ointments. Dr. Morin will discuss specifics during your breast reduction consultation.
