Congratulations on your decision to proceed with breast reduction surgery; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. The use of a computer or iPad should not be a problem;  be careful however about making important decisions and/or social media (or e mail) communication while you are medicated. Best wishes.

Jeffrey M. Darrow, MD · Answer

There should be no problem for you to use your ipad or laptop after your reduction.  Just be sure you don't make any important decisions, such as legal decisions, while you are still taking any narcotic medications which may cloud your judgement.  Best of luck.

Yes, you can use an iPad or Laptop almost immediatly afterwards.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Best wishes!
