Can I start my birth control 5 days after breast reduction?

Asked By:lmm1220

I just had a breast reduction this Tuesday (5/20), and I was wondering if I would be able to start my birth control pills again today (5 days after surgery)? I had to stop taking them 2 weeks before the operation, so I don't quite know what the rules are for after surgery.
