Breast Reduction Frequently Asked Questions
We will provide you with thorough post-operative instructions that you should follow carefully. We recommend that you wear a compression garment to support your breasts and minimize swelling. Information about medications, follow up, and other specifics will be provided to you by our team.
Since breast reduction surgery removes tissues, your results will be totally permanent.
Similar to your recovery instructions, we will also give you a list of ways to prepare for your surgery. Generally, you should adjust any medications as recommended by Dr. Courtney. You should also quit smoking, drinking, and other habits that may hinder your results in any way. You must also avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory medication, or anything else that may increase bleeding.
Because this is a major surgery, we strongly recommend that you have someone there with you to take you home and watch over you for the first night after surgery. From there on, you’ll continue to improve and quickly become self-sufficient.
