Worsened swelling after returning to work post tummy tuck

March 6, 2016
Asked By:debbieky in Kentucky, KY

3.5 weeks after tummy tuck and lipo I returned to work. I drive a bus on rural roads and have to do a lot of turning around in tight places, etc. Since returning to work, the swelling that was getting better, is now pretty bad again. Like it was at 2 weeks. I see my surgeon on Tuesday, but my ? is, should I consider taking more time off work at this point? Or will I just need to be more patient for the swelling to calm down with the activity? thanks in advance
