I am a registered nurse. How soon would I be able to return to work after the BBL procedure?

Question

I am considering a BBL next year. I’m in the Labor and Delivery department and I’m concerned about having to lift patients and having to stand for extended amount of time.

Thank you for your question. I recommend you to discuss this with your PS because every surgeon has his/her own protocol. But, usually you need to take around 2 to 3 weeks out of work.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Thank you for your questions. Every surgeon has his or her own preference regarding a return to activity protocol. You should discuss your specific work duties with your chosen surgeon. Generally you would need to be off work about 2 weeks. You could probably return to light duty work after that and plan to  be back at full duty within 4-6 weeks. Make sure you choose a surgeon who is ushering you through this process.Best of luck!Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery

Hello, thank you for the question.
I personally recommend at least 4 weeks for recovery, just in case any thing happens. Remember, always safety first!!!
Best of lucks.

Hello, thank you for your question, every surgeon has their own opinion, and of course every patient has their own recovery time. I recommend my patients from 2 - 3 weeks to return to their normal activities, if those activities are easy ones. You should have a personal consult with a  board certified plastic surgeon  and meet your expectations.

Ten days to 2 weeks would be sufficient to recover from BBL surgery and return to work. Good luck.
