How long should a person stay out off work after having lipo, bbl, breast lift with implants?

Question

Salvador Pantoja, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, this will vary on the type of job you have, if its a desk job where you regularly sit most of the time I would advice to wait two weeks for the fat to have enough time to grasp to its new location, you can also use a soft pillow for you to sit on and not affect your results. If you work in another field where heavy lifting and strenuous work activities are needed  I would advice to wait at least three weeks.

You may need to take up to 2 weeks off, depending on your recovery. Best to ask your board certified plastic surgeon. He or she should recommend specific post operative protocol. Best of luck

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
I recommend my patients to allow 2-4 weeks for recovery, and to wait at least 7-10 days before going back to work, but each doctor has their own protocol. 
I also recommend not to sit for more than 30 mins. every two hours, for the first 2 weeks, and always with the help of a boppy pillow. It is very important that you talk to him and follow his instructions.
Hope this is helpful. Good luck :)

Usually for multiple procedures my patients stay out of work for at least 7-10 days. That is of course if they are healing well. Best to ask your surgeon.
