Hoping you can tell me, is breast reduction recovery extremely painful?

No.: No, actually majority of patients tend to use less pain medications than those undergoing a breast augmentation.

No: Most women are able to go home after surgery the same day, and many women are off all pain medicines by 3 days after surgery. Certainly there is discomfort, but many people are able to return to work within 2 weeks.

No.: Although every patient has a different experience after surgical procedures, breast reduction surgery tends to be very well tolerated. Most patients require pain medication for approximately one week after the procedure is performed. Many patients report an improvement in “symptoms” related to the disproportionately large breasts very early on after the breast reduction procedure is performed.
