Your return to work after your breast augmentation procedure may depend on a few different factors. One is the extent of your surgery. If you combine your breast augmentation with another procedure, like a breast lift, you may need a few extra days to recover before resuming light activities. Another factor is the type of work you do. You might expect to be back to a desk job within a few days of a standard breast augmentation. To be fully capable of performing more demanding work, such as that which requires pushing, pulling, or lifting, you may need a week or two of rest and recovery. If you have questions about how much time your doctor anticipates you'll need before returning to work, bring this up during our consultation or pre-operative visit! We're happy to help you plan accordingly.
