I just got my breast reduction yesterday. What would you suggest I eat or do to have the best possible results


I am home this evening and then getting the tubes taken out tomorrow. Anything I should be eating or doing to help myself heal best? I am taking it easy, my husband is helping me with doing things around the house... and trying to drink lots of water and rest. Any other helpful tips?

Sorry this isn't very helpful, but I just want to say congratulations to you on your BR, it's something I've been considering for a good while :)
There are some good forums on the internet such as one called something like 'make me heal' where you can ask questions of people who've had BRs, that's your best bet.
Hope you heal nice and quickly and that you're satisfied with the outcome!

Check out this website:

It is very helpful regarding pre and post operative breast reduction stuff. I had a reduction and that site helped me out a LOT!

Pieces of advice: DO be patient, your breasts will need time to heal. Don't be impatient with the recovery. Take before and after pictures of your recovery so you can see the progress you are making with swelling and healing. DON'T pick any scabs that you might have or else you will have an open wound. What you need to do is cut off the loose scab and keep the part still attached to you alone until it falls off (personal experience here!).

Good luck in the recovery!

Nope. Fluids and Rest. Just keep the tubes cleaned out and make sure your incisions look good. I had mine done 14 years ago, would do it all over again. Went from a F cup to a large B small C. Love it. No sag, always perky and they look great (so says my husband).

Ask your doctor.
