Is there anything I can do to speed up my healing time after a breast reduction? Pills to take, creams to use, etc.? Or is there anything I should do to make sure I have a good recovery? Thanks.

Answer: Following your plastic surgeons post-operative instructions is important for a good recovery Hello - To help with a smooth course after your surgery, it's important to follow your surgeons instructions. This may include no exercise for 1-2 weeks, limited bathing, and taking care of your drains. For creams, I recommend Mederma for scars after surgery. Also, make sure you don't smoke for at least 2 weeks before and after your surgery and this includes second-hand smoke. Good luck!
