Will I have to take time off from work after breast reduction surgery?

Steve Fallek (Plastic Surgeon & Medical Director, Face Focus Medical Spa, New York City) gives expert video advice on: How is a breast reduction procedure performed?; Who can get a breast reduction?; Is a breast reduction painful? and more...

I usually suggest that patients take at least a week off from work after the breast reduction surgery. If you need to go back to work earlier that may be an option. You'll be wearing a bra and support so that's usually not a problem. If you work at home that could probably take place in a day or so after breast reduction surgery.
