Breast reduction : Postoperative you will be in a support bra. The hypafix tape can cause a rash notify your physician if you encounter a rash. Nipple sensation may be not what you felt prior usually it will come back. The other issue you need to watch out for is your incision make sure it is kept clean pat dry after shower if you notice the incision is opening please contact your surgeon.
