Understanding Breast Reduction Surgery
Breast reduction surgery involves the removal of excess breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to achieve a breast size more proportionate to your body. This procedure not only aims to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the breasts but also to alleviate the physical discomfort caused by overly large breasts
Recovery Process
Initial Healing: You may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the first few days after surgery. Your surgeon will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to manage these symptoms.
Long-Term Care: Full recovery typically takes several weeks. It’s important to follow your surgeon’s advice on activity restrictions and care to ensure the best possible outcome.
