At 3 weeks post op you are still very swollen you have to give them time and let the swelling subside this can take 3-6 months so just be patient and continue to follow up with your PS.

Susan Buenaventura, MD, FACS · Answer

It is too early to judge your final results from your breast reduction.  Be sure you are not overdoing it, wear a comfortable compression bra and lie down intermittently during day for a few minutes to allow swelling to decrease.  It takes about 6 months to see final results.  It is always possible to do a revision if needed later.
