Thanks for your question. Your surgeon will be able to give you his or her recommendation. In my own practice I generally begin a gradual return to activity as tolerated after 3 weeks. By 3 weeks the wounds are usually strong enough and the risk of bleeding is low.hope this helps.
Thank you for your question! When it comes to the exact amount of downtime you will need, it is best to consult with your plastic surgeon. He will then be able to give you an accurate timeline based on your individual case. However, most patients can return to a low-impact job within a week. More strenuous activities, such as tennis, can usually be resumed within six to eight weeks. All the best, Dr. Jonathan Berman
