How soon can I go back to work after an arm lift I work as a healthcare assistant?

Thank you for your question! For my patients, I recommend taking 10 days off of work from a desk job that does not require physical activity or heavy lifting, then back to the gym for cardio at 3 weeks, and weights and yoga at 6 weeks. If you have a very physically demanding job, I recommend extending your time off from work. However, it is best to discuss specific restrictions and recommendations with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck! 

I appreciate your concerns.
I suggest you talk to your surgeon about the specific duties and level of physical activity you will need to carry out your job. Generally speaking, healthcare workers need a bit more time and I often recommend 4 weeks for my patients.
Good luck. Dr. ALDO
