Soon: Most of your swelling be gone after a couple of weeks. But it takes months for your breast to settle into their final position, especially if youve had a vertical incision reduction. Wait 3 months at a minimum to judge your results.

Swelling BR: Discomfort, swelling and discoloration of the breasts are expected for several weeks. Usually, our patients return to most normal activity within two weeks.
