How Long Do I Need to Take off for a Breast Reduction As a Nurse?

November 5, 2012
Asked By:geoandromeda

I am thinking about getting a reduction from my 34DDD on a 5ft tall average frame and yes I do have so weight to loose but running is horribly painful and anything aerobic hurts. I just would appreciate an estimate on time off from work before I presue this more. I work night shift on a cardiac floor, most of the work would be boosting people in bed, helping people stand and turning people in bed. Thanks
