Is 5 days recovery enough to go back to work after breast augmentation with lift?

There are many different factors for an individuals recovery time.  The number one factor is YOU!  What is your lifestyle, do you have help at home, are you on your feet alot at work and at home? Do you have othere people in your care?  These are jsut a few of the questions that you need to consider before going back to work. Most patients take 5-7 days to return to work with limitiations , meaning no heacy lifting for one month and no physical activity  to ensure proper healing.

Thank you for your question.  Typically, many of our patients find they can return to light office work one week after surgery.  We recommend no lifting anything over 25lbs for the first 2-3 weeks.Best regards,Dr. Lane F. Smith, MDPlastic SurgeonLas Vegas, NV
