How Many Days Should I Take off of Work for Breast Implant Surgery?

I work as a hairstylist and I'm constantly moving around and lifting my arms. Sometimes it feels like a workout for my arms. I am getting breast implants and decided to take 7 full days off from work. I'm having my surgery on May 1st and coming back to work on May 8th. Is a week enough time to recover? Should I request to take more time off of work? Im getting 375 cc high profile implants and I'm 5'4 120 lbs. Going from 34a.
