Are your breasts too big? Excess glandular and fatty tissue in the breasts causes them to weigh more than they should, affecting posture and the back and neck muscles. During breast reduction, these tissues must be removed. Because of this, it’s necessary to undergo a breast reduction recovery process.
Bruising and pain are normal issues associated with breast reduction surgery. During the breast reduction recovery process, physicians recommend applying ice packs to the affected areas. With the help of these ice packs, the bruising and pain will subside in a matter of weeks. Though much of the swelling will also subside in this time, the entirety of it may take up to a year to heal.
Learn more about breast reduction recovery from a visit to board-certified plastic surgeon like Doctor Timothy E. Fee. He will make sure you fully understand the procedure and the accompanying healing process. To arrange an appointment, please contact our office.
