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

Answer: When I can come back to work-after-tummy-tuck-lipo-bbl? Thanks for your question, We usually recommend ours patients to take 2 one 3 weeks off of work if is possible, because in Tummy tuck procedures the muscle plication can be adversely impacted by heavy lifting and the muscles can be torn and bleeding, for this reason, we generally recommend minimal lifting in the first two weeks following surgery. We also don’t recommend lifting more than twenty pounds for four to six weeks after surgery, with can minimizes complications in the post-operative period. I hope this help. Please make sure to contact a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
