Answer: Breast reductions recovery Hello dear thanks for your post. You will need to take at least one week off from work or school for breast reduction surgery. Some people need two weeks, but each situation varies. Your surgeon will instruct you on follow-up appointments for removing bandages and stitches. While you recover, you'll need to stop physical activities for at least one month after surgery. After breast reduction surgery, you should expect to feel tired and to have breast pain. This is normal. Your surgeon will give you an oral painkiller to ease you through the first few days after surgery. You should also avoid heavy lifting. Some people have an emotional reaction, such as feeling depressed, after the surgery. That can be normal, but make sure you tell your doctor about all your concerns.Good luck :)

Answer: Breast reduction restrictions In general, I tell my patients to limit exertion for abour 3-4 weeks and then they can usually go back to heavy lifting in about 6-8 weeks. Most can go back to light duty within a week or so.
