How long will i have tightness and swelling after double mastectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: While everyone is different, the wounds and healin process should be about 90% complete in the 6-8 week timeframe. It is common however to become easily fatigued for many weeks to months after surgery. Not everyone has this issue, but it is common. Hope this helps! And best of luck.
