6-8 weeks: I recommend to my patients to wear a bra at night for 6-8 weeks. After that it is for comfort. But every plastic surgeon has there own protocol ask yours.

Varies: Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure; this operation tends to be one of the most patient pleasing operations we perform. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to specific advice; you will find that “protocols” will vary from one surgeon to another. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.
