What amount of time off a physical job can I expect after a mullerectomy?

July 13, 2013
Asked By:CaroleAnn

I'm having a mullerectomy performed on Aug. 6th. to correct a drooping right eyelid. I work in the food industry (direct face-to-face serving). What would be a "reasonable" time to expect to be off work until I should appear reasonable presentable to folks I am serving food to? I know this varies, but I am looking for an educated guess. Thanks.
