Hello, thank you for your recent question! Breast Augmentation and Lift you will be okay to have off at least a week. You may find that you feel better sooner but I would recommend just planning for a week to give yourself plenty of time to heal. Best of Luck!
Given your occupation, I would suggest at least two weeks off work after breast augmentation/lifting surgery. My best advice: careful selection of plastic surgeon and careful communication of your goals. Best wishes.
Thank you for your question . With your job I would probably recommend two weeks off. Most patients can go back at one week unless they lift a lot of weight at work or like you having your arms constantly elevated , would wait an extra week.
WIth what you do for a living, in our office we would say to take it easy for at least 2 weeks before going back to work full time.
Thank you for your question. Several factors contribute to the amount of time you will need off from work. If the implants are placed under the muscle, you will be quite sore for several days and possibly require muscle relaxants. I usually have my patients plan for 2 week off from work. Occasionally, women feel fine and return to work earlier. If the patient's job requires heavy lifting or strenuous activities, I have them plan for 4 - 6 weeks off from work. Any postoperative complications can also potentially prolong returning to work.
On average, I would recommend taking at least a week to 10 days off from work, considering you use a lot of arm motion in your job.

Hi canadiangirl1, There are a lot of things that needs to be considered when it comes to breast augmentation. Implant profile is one of the important considerations to make. Many patients wrongly assume that the higher the profile the better. The truth is, the more profile (or...
Yes, it will take some time for this to resolve. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with. Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (...
