What to Expect After Your Breast Reduction

After your breast reduction, the incisions and sutures will be covered in gauze and tape. A special recovery bra will be provided, which will need to be worn for a few weeks. In some cases, surgical drains will be placed to remove any fluid that accumulates after surgery. Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising is normal after breast reduction. Dr. Aboolian will prescribe medications to help manage discomfort during your recovery.
