What's the earliest I can go back to work, at my desk job, after breast reduction surgery? (Photo)

Yes, you will definitely need a week off to recover even if its a sedentary job. You are putting yourself through an operation with risks and you want to make sure that you have the best result. Take the time off so your body can heal or postpone the surgery to a time that you can dedicate to yourself. The recovery is just as important as the operation. #BreastReduction #PlasticSurgery 

I usually advise my patients to take 1 week off of work even if they have a "desk job". However, I have had patients go back to work after 3 days. As long as your pain is controlled without narcotics (and many people do not require them anymore by day 3), there is no reason why you cannot return to work at your "desk job". If you are still requiring narcotics you should not make any important decisions and certainly should not drive. Best wishes to you!

After
breast reduction surgery, I advise the patients to take one week off from work. The
patients may return to work, but may not engage in any strenuous activity at that time.  At one month, the patients start low impact cardio. At two months they can
engage in more strenuous physical activity. If anything hurts or causes
swelling, we ask them to back off somewhat.
