I : I would suggest taking 2-3 weeks off work. This is a big surgery with a long incision and requires your body heal for several weeks. The more time you give your body to heal, the better your recovery will be. Please visit my web site for more information. Sincerely, dr. Katzen.

I : I wouls say the minimum time would be 10-12 days and again it depends on what type of work you do.If you do office work i think this would be adequate and assuming there were no complications after the surgery.www.beautybybrueck.com.

2 weeks: If you have a desk job, you will need 2 weeks off. If you have an active job with physical exertion, you should take off 4 weeks. Good luck.

At least 3 weeks: A body lift is a major surgical procedure and you should take 3 to 4 weeks off from work. Normal activities may not resume for 6 to 8 weeks, depending on your specific surgical case.
