I work retail which includes on my feet for 8 hours with stocking shelfs
Answer: How soon can I return to work after a facelift, neck, and eyes? Hello Akeyna,What a great question and kudo's to you for doing your due diligence. It depends in part on the procedures, but I typically tell patients they can return to work with some makeup in one to two weeks. Exercise is restricted for at least two weeks. Obviously healing continues, and you really start to look your best after 4-6 weeks have passed. I would ask your facial plastic surgeon for their recommendations regarding time off prior to scheduling the surgery. I hope that is helpful!

Answer: Returning to Work After a Facelift Many facelift patients are ready to return to work after two weeks, if there is any residual brusing it can be covered up with makeup. Get clearance from your surgeon who knows you best. Good luck.

Answer: How Soon Can I Return to Work After Facelift? Wait at Least Three Weeks Before Lifting After Facelift If you had a strictly office job, you might be able to return to work after about two weeks. However, I do not recommend heavy lifting or even being on your feet for a full shift at that time. Maybe work part-time during the third week, take frequent breaks, and delegate lifting to a co-worker. To be safe, I’d recommend holding off on lifting until a month after surgery. Also, if you work retail, you might want to wait more than two weeks before you return to work. You’ll still have significant swelling and maybe some bruising and discoloration at that point. I hope this helps.

Answer: Returning to work Thank you for your question. Please follow the protocol of your surgeon as every facelift is different. I perform a facelift under a local anaesthetic meaning limited bruising. This means my patients typically return to work after 7-14 days. If they have a manual job I would suggest return after 14 days. All The Best

Answer: Recovery after facial surgery This is something you will have to discuss with you doctor. I tell my patients that they need to 'take it easy' for 2 weeks after surgery, this includes heavy lifting and bending over. My patients who do excessive exercising or lots of strenuous activity such as Yoga, or golfing regularly, I tell tell them to wait up to 3 weeks before resuming those activities. As you can see from all the answers, you are looking at a 2-3 week recovery, I am sure your surgeon is along the same lines, so definitely follow up and ask her advice as there are some circumstances that require further recovery, especially if you have excessive swelling or bruising after the procedure.
