If you receive a breast augmentation with fat transfer by itself, you should be able to return to work within two to five days. In many cases, patients choose to combine this procedure with a breast lift or augmentation, which can extend recovery times.
If your job requires strenuous activity or heavy lifting, we strongly recommend planning for additional time to heal before returning to work. Talk to your surgeon about what your work responsibilities entail, and we can help provide an exact answer as to how long you’ll need.
