How Long Before Skin Completely Heals After Breast Reduction?

July 8, 2009
Asked By:darriage in US Maryland

I had a Breast reduction. I was a DDD and I am now C and I am very happy with the results thus far. I only had the surgery a week ago and was curious as to how long it takes the skin to completely heal. I was also curious when the stitches will dissolve. Thank you :-)
