How much time off does a hairdresser need off after a breast augmentation?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..based on your case the ideal is that that part is your certified plastic surgeon that depending on how you see your recovery process can give you authorization when you could.

Thank you for your question regarding down time after a breast augmentation. Although you may feel some soreness after surgery, normal range of motion should be just fine a couple days post operatively. No lifting anything over 10 pounds or wearing underwires until the 6 week mark is met. Best of luck!

Hi,  You are in a great profession!  I agree, you should be back to work in a few days - less down time means less lost income.  Maybe search for a PS who uses the quick recovery techniques.
We
specialize in rapid
recovery breast augmentation, also known as the “no-touch technique,” a
surgical procedure that uses special instruments and techniques to minimize
tissue damage and avoid touching the ribs (hence the term “no-touch”). It causes far
less trauma to the surrounding tissue than traditional approaches and
dramatically reduces my patients’ pain and suffering as well as their recovery
time. After I began using this technique, my staff and I interviewed each
patient postoperatively to assess the results. We discovered 95 percent
returned to normal daily activities within 24 hours. (For more information, see
Dr. John Tebbetts’ book, The Best Breast,
CosmetXpertise, 1999.) Before I began using the rapid recovery method, a
substantial number of my patients would spend as much as two to three weeks
stiffened with pain. Now I have a patient who reported that she had folded
three loads of laundry and bathed her two boys the evening after surgery. A
second patient worked a full day at her office the day after her surgery.
Another went to a movie eight hours postoperatively. The patient shown doing
arm exercises and smiling less than 24 hours postoperatively was one of my
first patients to use the no-touch technique. She was off all prescription
analgesics the day after surgery and drove herself to the office for her
follow-up exam. This is not magic, but it sometimes seems that way compared to
the old methods. My staff and I, as well as the anesthesiologists and recovery
room nurses, absolutely, unequivocally see a significant difference in my
patients’ recovery times. I now recommend this technique for almost all of my
breast augmentation patients.  After your surgery, there are three very important
things to do. The first is getting your arms over your head. You should begin
to do this six to eight hours after surgery. Do a set of three arm raises every
hour before going to bed. The worst
thing a marathoner can do after a race is to lie around doing nothing. Instead,
stretching and walking help the muscles to recover more rapidly. The same
principle holds true for the quick recovery method. You may lift objects
that weigh less than 30 pounds and drive a car if you’re off pain medication.
The second is actually a don’t: Don’t baby your breasts. You can’t hurt or
rupture your implants or rip open your stitches, a common but unnecessary fear,
by going about your daily routine. Look at your breasts in a mirror. Touch
them, and get to know them. They’re not the same as what you’ve been used to
all these years and they are going to feel weird for a while, so it’s important
to become familiar with them. Finally, lie on your breasts—yes, that’s
right—for 15 minutes every day starting the evening of your surgery. Plan on
doing this every day after surgery, basically forever. You will feel better and
lessen the risk of developing scar tissue around the implant.
You can and should go about
your normal activities after your procedure. Your surgeon will give you
guidelines regarding aerobic activities, dressings, and other issues at
discharge time.
