Afterbreast reduction surgery, I advise the patients to take one week off from work.The patients may return to work at that point, but may not engage in anystrenuous activity. At one month, the patients start low impact cardio. Up tothis point you should be sleeping on your back propped up on pillows. Atthree months they can engage in more strenuous physical activity. If anythinghurts or causes swelling, we ask them to back off somewhat.
The answer is it depends. How was surgery? How is your overall recovery going? Remember that each surgeon has different guidelines about return to activity, so for this issue for you to be sure, you should check with your surgeon. Hope this helps. Good luck.Dr Vasisht

No body wants to overdo it and possibly have an issue. Perhaps a friend or family member could help out for a week or two.Dr L

Thank you for your question, it is a common one.Every insurance company is different. You do seem like you would qualify, but again, there may be something in your policy where you wouldn't be covered (some companies require proof of physical therapy that didn't help the discomfort). I r...
Hello,I think your breast tissue (no implant, right?) will drop over the next 2 months, so be patient. Best of luck!
Thank you for your question. Without and exam or at least pictures, it is hard to give you specific advice regarding your unique situation. However, with a height of 5' 4" and a weight of 125 pounds, it sounds like you have significantly large breasts for your frame. It is very possible that a...
Thank you for your excellent question. I would say that the most important thing to make sure is that your surgeon is board certified by the American Board or Plastic Surgery and not any other board. Next, I would ask them about their experience with breast reduction surgery, what techniques...
