Question about arm and breast surgery

Has anyone had their arms and boobs done at the same time? I need to know how much time to anticipate being off work. My job is VERY relaxed and requires nothing physical. My PS consult is in 2 weeks, but the curiousity is killing me! I am trying to do all surgeries within 8 months if possible (LBL & thighs)

I had my arms and breasts lifted at the same time on 11/22 and I took 1 week off work.  I went back to work on 11/29.  My job was also sedentary and I didn't have any problems.  I wore my compression vest, etc. and felt fine. 
Good luck!!

I had arms and BR/BL 2 1/2 weeks ago, and went back to work today. Sedentery job, minimal lifting. I could have come back last week except for fatigue - not pain issues.

I had my brachioplasty and BL done at the same time. I was back to work after a week but have a desk job where I don't need to lift etc. I found almost pain pain associated with the breasts. The arms improved gradually but it was a good 4-6 weeks before I was feeling back to normal.   My LBL was about 7 months after the arms and BL. Good luck!

I had arms and a breast lift on a Thursday afternoon -- outpatient.
I took off on Friday and the whole next week (it was Thanksgiving week) ---- and was fine to go back to my job.

I do Project Mgmt -- nothing strenuous.
