I'm a hairdresser. I want a tummy tuck/inc. muscles & breast lift at the same time. How long would I need to be out of work?

Hello djcacciatore123 from Tampa,
Thank you for your question! The recovery time that would be required is 2 weeks off of work and four weeks of no heavy lifting.

Each surgeon will have their specific recommendations as far as time off of work after surgery. I suggest to my patients taking off about 2 weeks. Ensure that you are no longer taking any narcotic pain medications before driving or starting back to work. I would recommend working half days at first until you begin to feel back to normal. Discuss your concerns with the surgeon you choose.
