How long you are off work depends on what you do and what procedure you undergo.
The range can be 1 day to 4 weeks depending on the procedure. (Please ask us during your consultation)
Regardless of your employment, do not lift anything weighing more than five pounds for at least three weeks.
Sometimes it may take longer depending on the type of surgery (i.e. Abdominoplasty/Tummy Tuck).
