I go to an aesthetician school and the week of my surgery all I'll be doing at school is studying law that's it. Will I be able to go back to school the next day? I won't be doing any strenuous activity or anything just sitting down and studying.
Answer: When can you return to school or work after Breast Augmentation? HI Wehn92,Thanks for your question. It certainly is reasonable depending on how your surgery is done. If done under local and IV sedation then I would say yes as it usually takes about 12 hrs to 24 hrs to get the IV meds out of your system. If general anesthesia is used without much local medication then pain will be greater and the general anesthesia can sometimes takes longer to wear off. The best person to answer this is your plastic surgeon. Good Luck and congrats!

Answer: Breast Aug Recovery Thank you for your question, I would discuss the recovery with your PS about what to expect as everyone has a different post operative care protocol. Personally, I believe you will be sore and swollen from surgery, making it hard to concentrate and study. It may be best to take the day off and rest or schedule the surgery for a Friday so you may have the weekend to recover. For my patients I often advise them that they may return to work after a few days if they feel up to it, as long as the job is non-active (i.e. sitting at a desk). However, you should only raise your arm to shoulder level for the first two weeks to make sure any wounds do not pull open, and you should also avoid lifting objects (or children) heavier than 5 lb during the first two weeks. You will need to avoid any vigorous activity, such as running or jumping, as that will make your breasts bounce and possibly open your wounds or dislodge the implants. Soreness and swelling can be expected for a few weeks. Exercise and normal activity can resume typically 6 to 8 weeks after your breast augmentation surgery.

Answer: Breast augmentation I recommend that you at least take 24 hours off and stay home and relax even if there is no pain and you feel amazing because of your energy level due to the fact that you had surgery.
