I am firefighter looking to get a BBL and Lipo and possibly a tummy tuck. Would I be able to return to work in 3-4 weeks?

Hello and thank you for the question. All surgery has risks and takes time to heal. Getting back to work is a common question and depends on what type of work you do. A tummy tuck takes the longest to recover from. For someone who works a 9-5 desk job, 2 weeks is the minimum I would recommend. You will be ok for sedentary work but not much else. Plus you will be tired / fatigued as your body is consuming vast sums of energy to heal from surgery. A firefighter is a different class of work altogether. My patients who are fire / police duty say the job is 90% quiet and 10% chaos. It's the chaos part that you will not be ready for at a month. Typically, a fire emergency requires you to be at FULL physical function and that can take 2-3 months frankly. My patients who do this work will often use short term disability to go back to work on a light duty ONLY basis. You could return to light duty within 2 weeks or so. Hope that answer helps. Best to you. #plasticsurgery #drbennettyang

Hello and thanks for your question.It is possible to get a BBL, liposuction with VASER, and a tummy tuck and be able to return to work after 4 weeks at the minimum. Each individual varies, but with VASER, you would get the best outcome and be able to return in about 4 weeks.Please consult with a certified VASER specialist for more information.
