COVID-19 UPDATE: As of May 11, 2020, we have re-opened our office to regular in-person appointments. We are operating at a lower-than-normal capacity in order to respect social distancing advisories and best protect the health of our patients. We are still offering telemedicine as an option. For more information please call us at (314) 996-8800.

How much time will I have to take off from work?

This is one of our most frequently asked questions about breast augmentation, but unfortunately it does not have a simple answer. If you have a job that is extremely physical or requires lifting of any kind, you will need to take more time off than someone who works in front of a computer all day. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions for post-surgical care and check your recovery along the way to make sure you are ready to return to work.


If you have questions or would like to book a consultation with one of the surgeons at West County Plastic Surgery, please call (314) 996-8800.
