I'm a dental assistant and getting lipo, TT & BBL. How long before returning back to work? I sit, stand and walk, eight hour day

After Lipo and BBL you can go back to work after 2 weeks or maybe less, depending on how successful your recovery is. For a Tummy Tuck, I usually recommend 4 weeks of rest, but, if (based on your recovery improvement)
your surgeon advises you to go back to work earlier and you feel capable, you could do so.

First of all, it is most important that you follow the advice of the surgeon who is going to perform your procedure. Only he or she can give you relevant advice regarding the recovery because only he or she knows exactly what kind of procedure, how aggressive, and all the details of what they are going to do.That said, I typically expect my TT/BBL patients to need a two-week recovery before they get back to any type of job which requires 8 hours of moderate activity. To return any earlier than this I think would be premature. Each of these procedures is significant in itself, and when combined, the recovery can be significant. I just don't think that at 8 or 9 days after this very significant and large procedure you are going to be able to be on your feet running around that normal pace. You're going to be tired, and more importantly, you're going to need to give your body time to heal. Pushing the recovery to quickly can risk not only compromised result, but potential problems.That said, bring this up with her surgeon and have an in-depth conversation. I wish you luck with your upcoming transformation!best of luck, Dr. Subbio

Hello dear, thanks for your post and provided information as well. The amount of time needed to heal before returning to work depends upon
the type and extent of tummy tick, how your body responds to the
surgery, and the duties of your job.

Generally, 2 weeks is a good guideline for return to work; 6 weeks for return to all normal activities, including athletics.Good luck :)
