A member asked:

When can i go back to school after a breast reduction?

Varies: It depends on what you are studying in school. You could probably go back when you are off pain meds and feeling comfortable. If you have vigorous physical activity as part of school, you would need more time off. It's best to discuss this with your surgeon.
