The time required for recovery following a breast reduction varies a good deal among patients. The inflammation and swelling normally take at least 6 weeks to reduce to a point that the breast starts to feel soft and natural. The amount of time you need to recover from BR will depend on your natural healing rate as well as the extent of surgery performed. After two or three months, you should more or less be able to see your final results noting little discomfort or tenderness. However, subtle changes may continue up to 12 months.

This is a great question. A conservative rule with most plastic surgery procedures is no lifting, pushing or pulling greater than 10 lbs for about 6 weeks. This time frame helps alleviate post op risks of bleeding complications and excess inflammation. Best of Luck!
