I'm a student and I want to do a tummy tuck and breast lift. However, I just wanted to know whether a month for recovery would be enough as Im limited on time constraints.
Answer: Recovery time from tummy tuck Dear Madam, Tummy tuck is the bigger operation of the two, so I will relate to it only. Pain and discomfort tolerance vary from patient to patient. I had patients who returned to non strenuous work after 3-4 days and others after 2-3 weeks. The average, though, return to light duty work after one week. So, in your situation, going back to school after one months, is more than enough, as long as you do not have to involved in strenuous activity. In my practice all physical restriction are lifted after 6-8 weeks. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Recovery Time for Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift? This is something to discuss with your surgeon, for my patients, I want them to wait 6 weeks before resuming any type of formal exercise. One month however, should be plenty of time to return to school. Good luck.

Answer: How long does recovery take for a tummy tuck and breast lift? A month should be enough time for recovery from your intended procedures. All strenuous activities should be restricted for up to 2 months. Keep in mind that healing will continue for a year or longer

Answer: Tummy tuck recovery An excellent question. Combining procedure is a safe and effective way to make pleasing changes and shorten and reduce overall recovery time. The tummy tuck portion of the procedure will essentially dictate the recovery. 1 month will be plenty of recovery time to return to regular schoool work. At six weeks patients are able to resume cardiovascular exercises. Many patients feel comfortable returning to work and school after 2 weeks

Answer: Recovery from tummy tuck and breast lift A month recovery should be more than enough time for a tummy tuck/breast lift provided you don't have to perform any strenuous activity of heavy lifting. You could even be in a classroom setting much sooner than one month in some cases.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Recovery Many thanks for your question. Recovery from a breast lift is quicker with dressings off and normal showering by a week, and you can take off the support bra and resume normal activities by 6 Weeks. Tummy tuck takes longer. The binder comes off at 6 weeks, but only light exercise until around 3 months post op.
