Can you go back to work 1 week after getting a mommy makeover?

I see people say you should at least wait 2 weeks before going back to work, but I really can't take that long off of work. I want to know if it's realistically possible to go back to work after 1 week? I work a desk job and I can work from home 75% of the time.

I appreciate your concern! I suggest an evaluation of this area by your plastic surgeon as soon as possible. Pressure, pain, fever and draining wounds should always be reported to your plastic surgeon.  Good luck. Dr. Aldo

Thanks for your inquiry, assuming your plastic surgeon has given you clearance to proceed, I suggest you gradually add activity over a few weeks instead of trying to return to your pre-surgery work out habits, good luck.
