Summer time Breast reduction. Any suggestions?

Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation can be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Your plastic surgeon will your guide through the recovery period and beyond;  every physician may have different "protocol".  Generally it will be important to keep the incisions clean and avoid sun light to the scars. Your plastic surgeon may recommend that you use SPF protection along the incision lines when the time is right. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

After surgery we typically advise patients to not submerge under water for a few weeks. You also want to make sure your scars are protected from sun exposure. Be sure to check with your surgeon as to exact restrictions 

Thank you for your question.  In my practice I advise patients to avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting for about 1 month in addition to avoiding submersion and swimming.  Also, avoid sunbathing and use sunblock.  Good luck!
