I don't have the usual desk job. I'm a bartender at a busy bar/restaurant, and my normal shift is anywhere from 10-15 hours long, all of which are spent on my feet. I'm a healthy, non-smoking 28-year old, about 5'2 and 115 lbs, 32B, looking to get implants. I understand not being able to lift anything heavy for a while, but will I have to spend an extended period of time out of work (longer than 1-2 weeks)?
Answer: Return to Active Job after Breast Augmentation Usually 10-14 days
Thank you for your question.
I agree with others that you need to follow the advice of your surgeon.
However, that said, I recommend to my patients that they plan two weeks before vigorous physical activity after Breast Augmentation.
Return to work is more difficult after Submuscular Breast Augmentation than after Subglandular Breast Augmentation.
Your job sound very vigorous. My guess is you will need at least a week and perhaps two if the implants are placed under the muscle

CONTACT NOW Answer: Working after BA It is important that you not engage in strenuous activities in the first 6 weeks after surgery. Aerobic exercise will raise your bloodpressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. If your job keeps you sedentary, you may return to work when you feel comfortable, several days after surgery. Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!!Avoid heavy lifting and straining for six weeks. You may, however, do normal activities at any time if they cause no pain or discomfort. Let your body tell you what you can or cannot do.#breastaugmentation#BA#exerciseaftersurgery

Answer: When an I return to my active job after having breast augmentation? Thank you for your question! The "rapid recovery" breast augmentation is a newer philosophy with many surgeons to expedite activity and expedite recovery following the breast augmentation procedure. In my practice, utilizing the fast track technique after breast augmentations, women are readily able and doing most things virtually immediately after this procedure. It is the similar techniques as described and is really gaining popularity. She is even recommended to go out for dinner that evening. Pain is minimal and you will likely be on a scheduled antiinflammatory regimen/pain control along with early exercises/range of motion techniques immediately. However, follow your surgeon's instructions for postoperative care and restrictions, but it is common for most women to resume many of the preoperative activities and duties within a week. I typically restrict heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for approximately 4-6 weeks Swelling and settling of the implant typically occurs over a 6-12 week period along with placement in a compression-type bra for the same time period, while your incisions commonly resolve to its final appearance in up to a year. Hope that this helps! Best wishes for a great result!hen an I return to my active job

Answer: Ask your surgeon 5-7 days is usually advised for a desk job. For your job, you may need to take about 3-6 weeks off, although this can vary from person to person. Do not lift anything heavy until about 6 weeks after surgery. Please ask your surgeon for their advice as they may have different guidelines.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Return to work guidelines I don't recommended working at the job you're describing before 10 days if you required to do heavy lifting. If you don't have to lift, but still work hard, then take off at least a week. Best wishes!

Answer: Returning to work after breast augmentation
Every patient heals a bit differently after surgery, but I would expect that you will want to take about 2 weeks off of work based on your job description. If you had a true desk job, you could be back at work in as little as 3 days. I have had several bartenders/restaurant workers have the surgery and they tend to return to work in about 1 week. They almost always tell me that they end up having someone help them with some of the lifting and more heavy work during that first week back.
