I would expect to be completely off of work 4-5 days, but would like an idea of how long it would before I would be cleared to return to full duty. Would under the muscle be a better idea for me since I have a job where I can be hit, kicked, elbowed, etc (nice, huh?)? I would assume under the muscle would make rupture less likely if I were to be hit?

Answer: Time off after augmentation I usually suggest holding cardio activity for two weeks and limit strenuous use if the arms (10 #) for six weeks. The sub muscular placement is best for mammography and is not a bad idea, in general, however I don't know how much of a protective advantage this will provide. Wear your vest!! Best of luck and be careful out there.

Answer: Time off needed after breast impalnts Most patients in our practice are quite comfortable after a few days with breast implants. Having said that, most of those patients would experience discomfort, and would be in harm's way if they try to struggle with a "perp" 4 days after breast surgery. For this reason, a safe recommendation is to say that a police officer can likely return to desk duty in a few days, but should wait to feel near normal before going out in harm's way. This can take 4-6 weeks.
