Shortness of breath after breast reduction? If drains are placed, will this help with swelling?

November 12, 2015
Asked By:Stephanieishere in Rockville, MD

I have very large breast I am also quite small in frame. I'm 5'2 142lbs. #1 complaint is I can't work out the way I want to without getting short of breath and breast are sore from jumping around. I'm a 30G looking to go to a 34B what do you guy's think? Also will there be chest pain after or breast pain? If I don't want a tight bandage just a light bra is that possible? Tons of questions who's up to the challenge?
