    Hi Ccad, From what I was able to find, outpatient breast reduction is the norm, unless the surgery is more invasive. My PS said that if you had a large amount of breast tissue to be removed, she would put you in the hospital, but otherwise it would be outpatient. I had another opinion from another PS and he said the same thing. I was a little concerned at first, but actually it all worked out fine being outpatient.

    Yes, having lots of burning, not just isolated to the top of the breasts. Also, nipples very, very sensitive and sore. I was one month last Thursday. It is getting better, just slow.

    Thanks. I still have all of the tape underneath after three weeks. I will say that I am well glued and taped and have had no issues with anything popping. I didn't think I should put anything on the incision that might make the glue come off before it should. Let me know if you get an answer.

    Hi WindyM, I have a question that you might be able to answer. I still have surgical glue and tape on. My PS hasn't said anything about taking it off, she just said to cut it off as it came loose. My surgery was Feb 21 and I am not scheduled to go back until April 10. I want to use the steri-strips, as I have read that they really help with the scars, but I don't think I should put them over the existing tape and glue. Do you know when I could use them?

    Absolutely felt better after the drains came out. I really thought the drains are the worst part of it. Hang in there, it gets better every day
