I will be having my preop on a Thursday and surgery on a Friday. I am very limited unfortunately on how much time I can take off to recover. I think 7 or eight days is the max and I may have to go in on the 5th and 6th days post op (to manage, but not take tables) Is this even doable?
Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery The real issue is going to be lifting. In general, I suggest that my breast augmentation patients refrain from heavy exercise (which would include lifting large trays of food) for at least a month. But speak with your surgeon. He or she will be able to give you the most accurate advise.

Answer: Recovery depends upon your surgeon...and you Ultimately this is a question for the surgeon you have selected. They know what kind of recovery their patients typically have.My patients who are waitresses are all back to work in a week.Many doctors today market themselves as delivering some sort of a fast recovery breast augmentation, but many do not deliver with any consistency.The concept was thought to be impossible and the method was described about 10 years ago by John Tebbetts. I learned the technique from him and have taught it to many others.Again, follow your doctor's instructions. But if you are searching for a doctor I have no good advice for you on determining whether a doctor can deliver a faster than average recovery. Perhaps you will see it in reviews, testimonials, videos on the site, and the expertise in this topic demonstrated by the doctor at your consultation.

Answer: Recovery After Breast Augmentation for Lifting Trays or Plates as a Waitress. One Week Enough? In my practice, one week has been enough to do light lifting, but I am very careful to do a non-traumatic bloodless dissection with cautery, use an implant that is not overly large for the pocket, and start arm-raising exercises four times an hour immediately after surgery. My patients are usually able to drive in 3-4 days and lift normal weight objects as well. For very repetitive lifting activity some might find a week a bit short, but if one does not lift a lot of plates on a heavy tray at the same time, one could go back to work as a waitress in a week.I always tell patients that some may have a slightly longer recovery than others, so it is nice to have a little leeway in when one has to go back to a job involving physical activity of the upper body and arms.

Answer: Breast augmentation recovery I think a 5 day recovery after submuscular augmentation is reasonable - you may want to schedule a hald day shift on your first day back in case you're not feeling totally recovered. Most of our patients are back to work full time and off of narcotic pain medications by post-op day 4-5

Answer: I am a waitress and am wondering if one week is going to be long enough for breast augmentation recovery? Thank you for the question. Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to returning to specific occupation/activities. He/she knows exactly what was done, how you are progressing (every patient has a different experience after breast surgery), whether or not you have experienced any complications or setbacks, and exactly what type of activities you wish to return to.On average, I ask patients to take off 5 days to 1 week after breast augmentation surgery (desk job or managing). For some professions, I may suggest a going back to work with a lighter workload. Ideally, I ask patients not to lift anything heavy or do things ( like pulling/pushing) that contract the pectoralis musle for at least 3-4 weeks. Ultimately, it will be important for you to “listen to your body”, apply common sense, and return to activities/exercises in a gradual fashion. Best wishes for an outcome you will be very pleased with.
