I do security as a amred guard so I stand for 8 hours no lifting but I do carry equipment on on my belt how should I stay out of work?
Answer: Tummy tuck, lipo, BBL and time off of work For desk jobs, most patients go back to work after a tummy tuck in 2 weeks as long as they are healing well. Patients that perform labor intense jobs with heavy lifting, usually take 6 weeks off after abdominoplasty. When patients go back to work, they may experience some fatigue from surgery and recovery process.

Answer: Post Tummy Tuck Restrictions Hello,Thank you for your question. You can probably count on returning to light work at 2-3 weeks but may need to modify your workload and avoid heavy lifting for an additional few weeks. I recommend that you ask your plastic surgeon what they advise for you as they know your situation the best.Take care

Answer: Back to work I would say that you could return to 'light duty' at two weeks and everything by one month. Cutting corners on this is ill-advised.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Recovery Hello, and thank-you for your question.The recovery following a tummy tuck depends on the extent of surgery (mini, modified, full, or extended tummy tuck), the amount of liposuction, number of additional procedures performed, ect. There has been a break through in the technology of post op pain relief for tummy tucks. A new medication named Exparel is now being used that will provide for 3-4 days of post op pain relief, speeding up the recovery process! The procedure can be done as an outpatient, but an overnight stay may be recommended. Individuals will generally take a week to 10 days off of work. Most of my patients are able to stand upright at 2 to weeks. It is normal to still feel tired and not quite yourself 3 weeks after a tummy tuck with liposuction. Swelling begins to subside in 3 weeks and it may take 6-8 weeks to resolve. My patient report that they typically start to feel better 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure and report feeling "normal" 6 weeks post-operatively. With my own patients, I do my best to keep the lines of communication open and do everything possible to speed their recovery. Best of luck, Andrew Lyos, MD, FACS
