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

I appreciate your question.  
Typically, my guideline is, the first week is the hardest. By the second week you feel better, at four weeks you feel 100% and at six weeks you can go back to complete normal routines and exercising.  
Four days after surgery, I would be careful as you are still at risk for bleeding. If you are taking any pain medication, I would not drink alcohol.  With my 'Schwartz Rapid Recuperation' recovery, most of my patients are out to dinner the following evening.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery. 
  
Best of luck!

I think that returning to work depends upon your activity level. 5-7 days is a reasonable course of time to return to desk work. However, strenuous activity should be avoided for 6 weeks. Ask your surgeon for their advice.

It depends on what the nature of your job is. For example if you have an office job that requires no heavly lifting or strenuous activity then 5 days is sufficient. Your chosen surgeon is your best resource for information like this.
