Asked By:bcsar

I'm a nurse and I'm looking into a breast augmentation. How long will I have to take off after surgery or expect restrictions. What type of things will I not be able to do at work after surgery? I'm usually off a week at a time. Is that enough time to recovery enough to get back to work?
