How long should I stay home from work after a breast reduction?

User Avatar

I plan on getting a reduction next year. I was just wondering what would be the ideal time off to take from work? I work an office job but spend about 80% of the time driving to different locations and standing for long periods of time. We do heavy lifting but only in the summer when we have outreach events. So I plan on getting my reduction in the winter of next year. Also, is there a specific weight restriction? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
