It's been four weeks since my breast reduction surgery, and I'm still experiencing discomfort and tenderness. How much longer until I start feeling back to normal?
The recovery time after a breast reduction can vary significantly among patients. It usually takes at least 6 weeks for the inflammation and swelling to subside and for the breast to start feeling soft and natural. The duration of recovery depends on factors such as your natural healing rate and the extent of the surgery performed. By two or three months, you should generally see your final results with minimal discomfort or tenderness. However, subtle changes may continue for up to 12 months.
Recovery can vary from patient to patient, but at this stage of your recovery, you should be experiencing a gradual improvement in discomfort. I recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment with your surgeon for a review.
At four weeks post-surgery, it is expected that the pain gradually improves. However, some discomfort may still be present. If there are any concerns, it is recommended to follow up with the surgeon for evaluation.
