I scheduled my Tummy Tuck in January. My surgeon stated that I should be able to return to work after 2 weeks off if I have a desk job. What is everybody doing as far as time off work? My specific procedure is full tummy tuck with liposuction of the flanks. I've been browsing the site and I am noticing that some people still have drains after 2 weeks. Others have commented on still being unable to stand up straight. Is two weeks realistic? I can't imagine returning to work with drains still attached.
