How long until I can drive after breast reduction surgery?

Thank you for your question. Usually patients can drive after two weeks of a breast reduction surgery. At this point patients would have stopped medication and have had recovered enough to get back to their normal activities including driving. It's best to follow your surgeons specific advice post-operatively.

Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to post surgical advice.
In my practice, I ask patients not to drive until they are no longer taking medications and can respond to an emergency when driving (there are both comfort and safety considerations involved).   Most patients in our practice are able to drive around two weeks after the breast reduction procedure.Best to “go slow” and listen to your body as you gradually increase your activity level. Best wishes.
