Hello, I would like to know when can I start driving after a breast reduction, I am 18 day post BR... thanks
Answer: Driving after a breast reduction? Always best to run these types of questions by your plastic surgeon who knows your situation best and is ultimately responsible for your care. Having said that, most patients are able to resume drive about 10 days. Of course, you will want to be off medication and be able to respond to an emergency.

Answer: Driving after breast reduction Thank you for your question. Always best to check with your surgeon regarding post-op restrictions, but generally there should be no reason for you to avoid driving at 18 days. The only concern would be that you avoid taking any pain pills or other medications that would make you drowsy. Good luck.

Answer: Post op driving When you are no longer taking pain medications and having no discomfort you can drive. Generally this is within one week of a breast reduction.

Answer: Driving After Breast Reduction This is something you should ask your surgeon about who knows you best. For my patients, I tell them it is possible that they will be able to drive after one week as long as they are not taking any pain medication. Good luck.

Answer: Driving after breast reduction Thanks for your question. It would probably be best to check with your operating surgeon about any restrictions that they may have for you after surgery. I generally tell my patients that they can begin driving 1-2 weeks after breast reduction surgery, assuming everything is going well with their recovery. Nevertheless it is still best to check with your surgeon about this. All the best with your recovery.
