How many days off would a teacher assistant need from work after breast implants?

Thank you for the question. My patients usually go back to work after 4-7 days but this depends on the kind of work they do. As long as you don't carry children or heavy objects you can return to work. I prefer to operate on Friday so some of my patients can return to work on Tuesday. Good luck with your surgery. Dr. Khuthaila 

It depends on how physically demanding your job is. If it’s mainly sedentary, then you may be able to return to work after about a week. However, if your job requires a lot of time on your feet and you’re lifting heavy things, then you’ll need to wait a few weeks. You’ll find out how long you should wait from your surgeon. This information is generally included in your post-op care instructions.

Thank you for your question.While each patients pain tolerance is different, my patients typically return to work within 48-72 hours following a breast augmentation procedure.  To this end, many of my patients elect to have their procedure performed on a Friday and are back to work by Monday, assuming that their job does not require any heavy lifting or exercising.  As long as you do not have to carry children or lift heavy objects (anything over 15-20lbs), you should be able to return to work quite quickly!
