My surgery is scheduled for May 22nd so I will have the 23rd, 24th, and 25th for my recovery days. I will return back to work on Tuesday the 26th. I work a desk job 8am-5pm Monday through Friday and do majority of my work from a computer. My job is exactly 2 minutes from my home so I will not have far to drive. My implants are going to be under the muscle. A full C, small D so 450cc-500cc. Is this goin to be enough recover time for me? Or will it he too soon to go back to work?
Answer: You may need more time for recovery. It is very common for women to want breast implants to ask about their recovery and when they can start exercising after surgery. Obviously the body heals with swelling and inflammation and usually that maxes out at two days and then starts getting better. Most of these patients take no pain medicine (because of the nerve blocks given during surgery) and usually feel very comfortable going out in public the same or next days. I usually call my patients the night of surgery and check on them in person the next day. If everything is fine the next day, I then let them shower and they do not need a dressing over their incisions. At the two week check up, I usually have people start working out and then after six weeks they can do whatever they want. I routinely tell people to take a few days to a week off work and to hide out but some people are very nervous especially celebrities and they might hide out for two weeks. As with any scar on the human body, initially scars are red, hard and raised and it typically takes six months to a year for them to become a soft thin white line. Additionally with recovery, there're many things we do to expedite healing such as nerve blocks during surgery, oral supplements, skin care and scar therapy recommendations, lymphatic massage sessions that are included in our pricing. I strongly feel that it's very important to have an honest conversation with your surgeon about your particular situation, lifestyle, work environment and specifically which procedures you're having done so that you both have the most honest answer about your recovery and are realistic with expectations and results. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of short scar breast lifts. Good luck with your future surgery!I hope this helps answer your question. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.

Answer: Work You are choosing large implants that will stretch your muscles tightly. If you can, I would suggest taking off a full week. Every woman is different with tolerance to pain, and you may notice more pressure than actual pain. Perhaps ask your boss if you can take off a week, but may return sooner if you are feeling well enough to work.

Answer: I am getting under muscle 450-500cc implants. Will 3 days be enough time off work? Hello, thank you for your question. You'll have some moderate discomfort for the first few days which might require narcotic pain meds. Most people can drive by 4-5 days after and return to work or school within 7-10 days. Once the pain has subsided you can do light activities. No heavy lifting or strenuous exercises for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks begin very slowly doing modified workouts and after 4 weeks full workouts. The swelling will be the greatest in the first 2 weeks but can last for several months. As your muscle relaxes and the skin accommodates this new volume, the breasts will soften and appear more natural. I recommend you to ask all of your concerns with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: My recommendation Hello, thank you for the question.I dont think 3 days is gonna be enough. I always recommend at least 10 days of full recovery, 20 days till the patient can drive and 3 months for exercising. A breast augmentation under the muscle can cause more than a regular augmentation so.. Please take all these informations in consideration. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know. Best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia
