Beautiful breasts are full, shapely, and in balance with the rest of the body. While many women want larger breasts, others have breasts that are disproportionately large. At Beck Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Beck performs breast reduction in Charlotte, NC to reduce the size of overly large breasts, while improving shape and position, often including repositioning and reshaping nipples.
What Is Recovery Like After Breast Reduction Surgery?
You can expect to return home on the day of surgery wearing a compression garment to help reduce swelling and help preserve the new, improved shape of your breasts. Most patients can return to work and normal activities in seven to 10 days after breast reduction in Charlotte, NC.
In the early stages of your recovery, you may experience some bruising, discomfort, and sensations of tightness or constriction. Use cold compresses at this time to relieve pain and reduce post-surgical swelling. Dr. Beck will prescribe medications to help manage your discomfort.
