How long is an average bed rest after breast implants?

Bed rest is not necessary after breast augmentation surgery.  A week off from work for comfort should be sufficient.  If your job required lifting, job modifications or more time off of work would be necessary.  If  you are off of pain medication in less than a week an earlier return may be possible.

There is no bed rest after breast augmentation. Usually patients are up and around within hours of surgery if not the next day. I use a lot of numbing medication and nerve blocks when i perform this surgery and most of my patients use only tylenol. you should be able to go back to work monday after a friday case.

Hello dear, thanks for your post. Breast augmentation is a short surgery which is typically performed as an outpatient. I prefer the patients take a week off from work. At that point they can return to work or school, but should refrain from all vigorous physical activity. At 1 month, they can resume cardio type exercises. At 2 months they can lift weights. I recommend to consult this with your PS, because he know the best your medical history. Good luck :)
