Once the breast reduction is accomplished, the patient’s treated area will be bandaged to lessen the likelihood of swelling, bruising and infection but this will be removed after a period of time. The patient will also wear a surgical bra for numerous weeks to provide a support to the new form. Moreover, the patient must take ample time off from work for rest and must avoid extreme activity/exercise within the first few weeks.

Discomfort or tightness in the chest can be experienced but this can be treated with medication.

Make sure that the chest area is secure against sun exposure and accidental impact.

One of the most important aspects that determine the success of the surgery is the patient’s mind-set and behavior. The patient should strictly follow the surgeon’s instructions and recommendations.
