At the very least you need a week off from work. Any more time you can get off will help you. A month would be the upper limit. Anything between a week and a month is great.
I typically advise that patients stay away from heavy activities for 4-6 weeks after surgery, and that time frame itself depends on how well a patient is healing. Time off of course will depend on your surgeon, but a bus wheel is heavier than a typical car steering wheel (as well as other aspects that need to be considered such as operating levers for opening doors, etc) so I would advise a patient similar to you a minimum of 4 weeks off from work.

Thank you for the question.Medicaid has been known to cover breast reduction surgery. For multiple reasons, most plastic surgeons that I know of to not work with Medicaid. I think finding a reputable plastic surgeon who will work with Medicaid will be the challenge you may face.Best wishes.
I find drains to be very useful after breast reduction. There is very little downside to using drains. However, fluid collection after surgery which can result from not using drains can be a significant problem.
Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. Unfortunately, the types of open wounds that you describe can occur occasionally after this operation and breast lifting operations. Fortunately, the majority of these wounds go on to heal without long-term sequelae; a...
