You may be able to start washing dishes after about 3 days following your surgery, but that doesn't involve heavy lifting, as would be the case for big pots and pans. 3 days would also be suitable for driving as long as you aren't under the influence of pain medication, however you should ask your surgeon for their advice.
Many patients after breast augmentation feel good enough to drive even 2-3 days after the procedure is done as long as they do not take any prescription pain medication. You are not allowed to drive while taking the prescription medication.As far as taking care of you household duties, you probably feel like doing light work about the same time as being able to drive. Your energy level should be increasing from day to day. Please do remember to be careful and not to lift any heavy objects over 10 lb for about 3 weeks. Listen to your body and just go along with it.
Hello,I typically tell my patients that the decision to drive is at their own discretion. As long as you are no longer taking narcotic prescription pain medication and feel that you can safely operate a vehicle, then it is fine.

You are pushing it kind of close. If their is a certain benchmark for you to reach I would be hesitant to go through with the surgery. You maybe able to complete the task but your score will be low and you may not be able to complete all tasks.
