When Can I Return to my Active Job After Having Breast Augmentation?

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.

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!

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.
