Question

Hi I’ve gotten my breast reduction don’t 3 weeks ago and I’ll like to why I can’t eat spicy foods after surgery, I’ve eaten and drank things that are sour and nothing happens.

If you are not on pain killers or antibiotics following the BR, you may just have acid reflux from the spicy food.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeryLos Angeles, CA

I have never heard that a patient can not eat spicy food after surgery.  Ask your surgeon his rationale.
