Back to work?

Hi Dr. Pousti,

I had a redo exactly a week ago today from 450 cc saline Mods to 800 cc saline Mods+... My recovery has been painful, but I started feeling a little better yesterday. My question is: how much time off do I take from work? I figured I would have been ready to go back to work 3 days post-op, but I definitely was not as I was in pain and very tired (just like my first breast augmentation with lift many years ago) Do you think I will be ready to go back to work next Monday? I'm just concerned because someone on this site had an hematoma 11 days post-op. I tend to push myself all the time so I just want reassurance that I will be fine going back on Monday! Thank you!

You should ask your Doctor's advice. I normally ask my patients to take one week off.
