Can I go back to work 5 days after having a Brazilian butt lift? I work from 8-5 Monday thru Friday.

     That is probably pushing the limit, but some of my patients have returned to light work at that time.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to allow 2-4 weeks for recovery, and to wait at least 7-10 days before going back to work, but each doctor has their own protocol.
I also recommend not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. Remember that each doctor has their own protocol, it is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Thanks for your question. The short answer is that it is possible to go back to work after 4-5 days of recovery, but I don't agree with the combination of your surgeries- it's very difficult to sleep/lie on your stomach after having Breast Augmentation.The long answer depends on many factors, including your job description. I generally recommend a minimum of 5 days and as much as 10 days of recovery prior to returning to work.While it's debatable whether lying on your backside will change the results of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), I think we can all agree that excessive pressure on a surgical area can potentially compromise the healing process and results.With this in mind, you would not want to place too much pressure on your butt, at least in the immediate recovery period from a BBL. Even more important than lying on your back too long would be to avoid sitting down for extended periods (are you ready to squat over a toilet?). If you have fat transferred to the sides of your butt, you would also avoid lying on your sides.If you really want to do everything you can to avoid "messing up your results", it might be best to separate your procedures. You should discuss the details of your recovery and care with your surgeon well in advance to prepare for everything they recommend for you. You are making a significant investment of time, money, and inconvenience to get the result you want. I would do all that you can to maintain it.
