Breast reduction surgery. Have to take Ibuprofen, but for how long?

Thanks for your question. At 4 days out, I think it is appropriate to continue taking that dosage if you are not having any issues. For my patients, I would feel that this amount is ok to continue taking, but I recommend checking with your plastic surgeon to discuss what their protocols are and what they would prefer.Best,Dr. Tag

There are other alternatives to Ibuprofen, by prescription.  However, at four days post op, the question is whether stronger medication would be required.  It is best to address this question with your plastic surgeon.
