I'm a flight attendant and will need to raise my arms above my head to close the overhead bins. I do run on a regular basis so feel I'm pretty 'in shape'. When can I expect to return to work and would it benefit me to wear a tight sports bra for the first few weeks as well? I've waited a long time for my boobs and don't want to mess things up. Thanks

Answer: Raising your arms over your head after breast implant surgery Every surgeon is different in postoperative care, so I would definitely clear it with your plastic surgeon. I allow my patients to raise their arms over their head the day after surgery to keep their joints mobile. I think early activity hastens the recovery process. Now, I would be careful about returning to work to soon as a flight attendant. That is a very active job, and you don't want to have any issues while you're on the plane!

Answer: Postoperative Recovery after Breast Augmentation I generally allow my patients to go back to work after 3-5 days depending on the type of work they do. I do not have any restrictions regarding movement of the arms over the head. I do ask my patients to take care and caution and to not do anything that is strenuous or perform any sudden jerky movements. This is all to reduce that rate of having any bleeding.Every surgeon has their own postoperative recipe and cook book so difficult to generalize. Just make certain you see a board certified plastic surgeon and take it from there.Hope that helps.
