Time off for BL and Brachio
Sorry, I know it's been asked a billion times!
How long did you need off work for breast lift and brachio? I had a really rough time getting energy back after my LBL/hernia repair and I want to ensure I take off enough time to be close to 100% at work. I think my surgeon suggests 2 weeks (I see him Fri) but based in my LBL I am thinking 3.
Thanks!

If you can take 3, then I would take 3. I only had my arms done but would have been able to go back in a week, easily.

I think it depends on the type of work you do. I had a BL/BA with Brachio. and was out of work for 4 weeks. I am a nurse who does some lifting/pulling/pushing and work 12 hour night shifts. I also had drains in both armpits for 6 days! My surgeon told me 3 weeks, but I felt as though I needed the extra week.

For the breasts by themselves I had them done on Thursday and could go back to work on Monday.
For the arms I think you need more than 2 weeks personally. I would think at least 3 or 4. I didn't have my full use bac****il week 6 but I could function and work at week 4.
Hope that helps.
Best wishes.....
