How long after breast reduction surgery can I rock climb?

Asked By:djuvre in Long Beach, CA

I'm a 5'1, 105lb, 22 year old with 32DDD (possibly F) cups looking to get a reduction down to about a B cup. I've done a range of physical activities since I was & since puberty my large breasts have caused me difficulty and pain. I've recently gotten into rock climbing - I'm experiencing the same difficulties but I am finally in a position where I can start thinking about surgery. I'm wondering what would be the recovery time for a sport that puts so much stress on your chest and arm area.
