Incision Line Healing Problem after Breast Reduction?
Thank you for the question.
Generally speaking, once you have reached the 6 week mark postoperatively it is unlikely that you will experience any incision line separation or wound healing problems.
Hope this helps.

You can exercise freely 3 weeks after breast reduction.
Hi.
This is the question women are most interested in. When can I exercise? If your scars look solid at three weeks, you won't get wound separation.

You should wait at least 2 weeks
Initial two weeks you need to be very careful as your wounds can easily separate. After 6 weeks your wounds are at 60% of their strength and at 1 year you level off at 80%. At 6 weeks your wounds are strong enough that you don't have to worry about separating the skin edges.
