Recovery time for a flight attendant after a tummy tuck & BBL? (Photos)

Thank you for your inquiry and photos, you should consider taking at least 6 weeks off work in recovery. Usually 6 weeks is okay all depending how you feel and heal some patients have taken up to 8 weeks when having a slower recovery. Best of luck!

Thanks so much for your question,
The recovery time for a flight attendant after a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can vary depending on several factors, including the extent of the procedures, individual healing capabilities, and the physical demands of the job.

Most patients can expect to take about 3-4 weeks off work to rest and recover. During this time, you'll need to avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending at the waist. It's crucial to follow your surgeon's postoperative instructions carefully to promote proper healing.

Flight attendants have physically demanding jobs that involve long hours of standing, walking, and lifting luggage. Depending on the airline's policies and your specific responsibilities, you may need to take additional time off work beyond the initial recovery period to ensure that you're physically capable of performing your duties safely and comfortably.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

You have a physical job and will need at least a month to recover to the point being functional at work. Recover time depends on the patient and how well you heal. You'll need to be careful of DVTs when returning to flying.
