I am interested in en bloc explant, lift and possible fat transfer. I am trying to gauge how much time I should take off of work... What has been your experience for your patients who are nurses and returning to work?? Thank you for your time!!!

Answer: Time off Dear ktglo, every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast Implant Removal and Lift Recovery With an enbloc capsulectomy, there will be a need for drain placement. Having operated on many nurses, I generally require them to stay off of work for 2 weeks. Once they go back the drains will be out by then and they can resume their duties, however.... there still can not be any heavy lifting or turning patients or pushing gurneys or beds. At 4 weeks time, all restrictions are lifted and back to normal activity. Hope that helps.
