Recovery Time After Exchange Surgery of TE and Silicone Implants?

TMHfan2012
It has been just over two weeks that I had my exchange surgery,...tissue expanders to 700 cc's silicone implants. I wear a bandage over the top part of my breasts to help the implants to "drop", but I have had an intense amount of itching. Is this normal? Also, I work at a job that requires me to be on my feet all day and on the move constantly. How long should I be off work to insure an optimum recovery?
