How Long After a Breast Reduction Can U Get in the Gym?

February 8, 2013
Asked By:babyrgirl29yr in Long Beach, CA

I'm 5'7 204lbs, and I'm up to do my breast reduction in 2 wks. I've reschedule twice to lose weight. The first time I did it and gained it back due to a tragedy and the second just didn't lose the weight. I have plans on starting back next month. I know its best if you lose the weight first but I don't want to keep putting it off. How long after surgery can I start working outA
