I am planning to get a breast lift and implants done. I work in an assembly plant and have been told I can get short term disability for my recovery time for this procedure through Sunlife. My union informed me that you do not have to say what type of surgery you are having. Is this true? Or will they typically cover the recovery time even though it is cosmetic? Also-the work I do is strenuous with a lot of lifting 6 days a week. Will I be able to get 3 weeks off, and will that be enough time?

Thank you for your question. You definitely want to follow your own
surgeon's post-op activity instructions. This is a general guide I give
to my patients as to the recoveryWeek 1) Discomfort and tightness
level progressively decreases with each day. Swelling decreases a great
deal after...
To see a plastic surgeon in your area. Itching isn't one of the most common signs of a leaking gel implant but, it might be yours. An exam, and perhaps an ultrasound or MRI might be useful in determining if something is wrong. Good luck.
Thank you for your question. Remember the breast implant sizer is placed on top of your breast inside of bra. When the actual implant is placed inside youit is positioned differently and can looks smaller than the appearance of the sizer.
