What happens after breast reduction surgery?
After you recover you will notice bandage dressings around your breasts and, depending on the technique used, the presence of drains. These are usually inserted under the wounds to drain any build up of blood or fluid that occasionally develops after surgery. Once the drainage is minimal (usually the next day) these drains are then removed. Your bandages are then readjusted and you are then instructed to wear a wireless sports bra for support.
