is it okay to have a breast lift with implants and have a 2-week recovery before starting college? I would have to carry a backpack and walk 2 miles every day. I also would have to pull open multiple building doors in order to get to class because I go to a college with a big campus. would this be okay after giving myself 2 weeks of recovery?

Answer: Breast Augmentation and Mastopexy Recovery Every plastic surgeon has their own recipe for post operative recovery. The best answer would be to discuss this with your plastic surgeon and see what your surgeon has to say. However, you will see that most surgeons have restrictions in place for the first 4-6 weeks. I personally allow my patients to resume full activity in 4 weeks. That includes exercise and so forth. Hope that helps.

Answer: Recovery After two weeks you should be feeling pretty good but you will still be healing. Generally lifting restrictions of over ten pounds are in place for the first six weeks. If your backpack is under this you should be fine. If the amount of walking is broken up over the day with breaks for class, meals, etc you should be fine. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns. She/He is most familiar with the details of your surgical plan.
