How long after Breast Reduction before I can leave the house and do small social things?

Asked By:dodgerjcf in Hampton, NH

More specifically, if I have my BR on the morning of December 2nd and my post-op/drain-removal scheduled for December 4th, will I be okay to go to a quiet, sit-down concert on the evening of December 5th if I rest up beforehand and someone else drives?
