Wig during breast reduction surgery
I understand that you'd be uncomfortable without the wig but operating room protocols would prevent you from wearing it. However, don't hesitate to mention this because the OR staff will provide you with a sterile "shower cap" and pemit you to put it on in a private setting if this is important to you.

Wearing a wig during breast reduction surgery
You should ask your plastic surgeon what the surgical center's protocol is for this. In the scheme of things, your head is usually covered with a hat so it shouldn't make a difference whether or not you have a wig on. Of course, there always are rules no matter how irrational or unsubstantiated by evidence that they may be.
