I work at an office but am interested in breast implants. The thing is I cannot really afford to miss work. Is this something depending upon the surgery I could do on like a Friday and go back to work the following Monday?
Answer: Pain Tolerance This is perfectly feasible for someone to have surgery on a Thursday or a Friday and return to work Monday. There are some weight lift restrictions, but being in an office, I am assuming you do not lift anything heavy for work. However, returning to work all depends on your pain tolerance and how you perceive pain. There are those who think a breast augmentation is a walk in the park and others who feel like they are not able to handle it. With all that being said, I wish you the best of luck and think it is definitely doable!

Answer: Time off work after augmentation mammaplasty Time off work after breast augmentation can vary widely. Job demands such as lifting can influence physician recommendations. Some patients recovery quickly, and returning to a desk job after 3 days can be reasonable. Others, however, take a longer time to feel well enough to resume work. Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict how you specifically will respond. Is it possible you will feel well enough after 3 days? Yes. Is it possible you will need to take more time? Yes. I suggest that you discuss your concerns with your board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery I typically advise that breast augmentation patients plan on taking it easy for the first 2 weeks of their recovery and resume daily activities as they feel comfortable. As long as you are healing normally, you should be safe to return to work on the Monday after your surgery provided that your job is not physically strenuous. It is important that you do not do any heavy lifting in the first 4-6 weeks of your recovery. I recommend that you discuss these concerns with your surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast implants Typically in my practice the patient goes back to work after 48 hours. You can resume your daily activities too. You just have to avoid heavy arm exercises or weight lifting for 6-8 weeks.

Answer: Breast augmentation recovery over a weekend is possible We often perform breast augmentation surgery on Fridays and patients are able to return to office work the following Monday. We don't use any surgical drain tubes or other items that would impede a patients ability to return to work early. We would be happy to see you in our Seattle clinic.
