How long should I take off from working as a hair stylist recovering after tummy tuck?

Thank you for your question. After surgery, depending on how fast you heal, we recommend takind at least 14-21 days off work. After that time we recommend slowly going back to your regular activities, make sure you don't over push your body. 

Hello,Thank you for your question. In general, I advise 2 weeks off from work after an Abdominoplasty. Depending on requirements of the job you may want to take longer or be sure that you can change position and take multiple breaks during the day when you return. Long periods of standing or sitting will be uncomfortable and heavy lifting should be avoided for 6 weeks or more. I recommend that you talk with your plastic surgeon about your expectations.All the best 

Thank you for your question.I find that many  patients  underestimate the actual recovery time associated with extensive operations such as tummy tuck surgery. The operation is associated with a very significant physical, and often "emotional", recovery period.
I ask my tummy tuck patients to refrain from any heavy-lifting or strenuous exercise for 6-8 weeks to prevent any complications and ensure proper healing.  Even at 2 months post op patients will report that they have not reached full strength/stamina. It may be 3-4 months before patients reach full strength.   
Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to returning to specific activities. My best suggestion: start slow,  gradually ease back into activities, and listen to her body as you do so.  Frankly, given your occupation, I would likely advise you to take as many weeks off as possible.    Best wishes.
