My surgeon didn’t refer to it by name but I have now researched enough to realize what it is. I had a couple of questions... 1) How long does it take to heal? 2) Could it have been avoided by using implants for symmetry rather than a breast reduction on one breast? Could it have been avoided in general with a different surgeon? I hadn’t smoked or drank in more than 2 weeks... 3) Can I get in pools this summer at all or beaches? 4) Can I drink at all?
