Concerns about Healing after Breast Reduction?

Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure; hopefully, your only long-term regret will be that you did not have the procedure done earlier in life. As you can imagine, without direct examination or viewing pictures it is not possible to give you precise advice. You will be much better off following up with a plastic surgeon for accurate diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Best wishes.
