After your breast reduction surgery, we recommend wearing a supportive bra to optimize healing. Patients should rest and avoid excess movement for two weeks following treatment. During this time, swelling and bruising will subside and additional discomfort can be treated with medication. At your first follow-up appointment Dr. Morin will address bandages and stitches. While most patients can return to work within 2 weeks of surgery, you should avoid physical activity for at least 1 month to promote proper healing.
