Most patients should plan to take one to two weeks away from work and other obligations to recover following breast reduction surgery. For the first few days, you will need help completing your daily activities.

Strenuous exercise should be avoided for six weeks. The amount of tissue removed and the length of incisions can also affect the healing time.

Be sure to check with your surgeon to determine if they have in fact heaedl to the necessary degree.

It is difficult to comment on ridges without seeing at least photos. If it is along the incision, often these improve with time.
Breast and cup size are very personal decisions. It is difficult to answer adequately without an examination or at least photos. Also remember that bra manufacturers are not standardized so a C cup in one bra may be a large B or a small D in another brand. I would recommend addressing your...
