How many days after a breast augmentation will I need someone to help care for me?

LiveLaughLove08
I am hoping to have a breast augmentation in the near future. The only person I'm going to tell is my husband and he will be the one helping me during recovery. How many days will he need to take off of work before I'm able to independently move around and take care of myself?
