Breast Reduction, is This Outpatient or Inpatient Surgery?

 Kimberly,  I have been doing breast reduction for 10 years and have never needed inpatient hospital stay. The complaint most patient give  following a breast reduction is tightness with minimal pain. No reason this needs to be treated inpatient. Save your money.

Breast reductions can be performed as outpatient or inpatient surgery. Most reductions are done safely as an outpatient, even with the removal of 1000 grams of tissue from each breast. Discuss the options with your local plastic surgeon to find out which would be best for you. Thanks for your question. Best wishes.

My patients are usually able to go home the same day, however some will stay overnight for comfort.However, this is something you need to discuss with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Good luck!
