I had my arms, tt and breastlift done at the same time and I was back to work at my desk job in 2.5 weeks. I was driving within a week.

I had my arms done on a Wednesday and returned to work the following Monday. I got my drains out fairly quickly (on Saturday morning). If the drains had still been in place I probably would have waited another day or two to go back to work, just so I wouldn't have to deal with the drains while I was working.

Had bilateral brachioplasty (arms, breast augmentation (implants)and mastoplexy (lift) and was back to work in about a week. Had it done just before Thanksgiving w/e 1 1/2 years ago. Arms were not painful as the incision lines were numb BUT the breasts/axilla (under arms) were painful. Felt like I go hit with a baseball bat for a while. Thank God for Valium (muscle relaxant) and Percocet. Read my profile for more detailed descriptions of my PS procedures. I also had an extended TT and thigh lift that I am also VERY pleased with.

I was off work for a week. Felt like I was in a drug induced state for the first 4 days after surgery.
