Depending on the amount of skin removed, most women can go back to work after breast lift surgery anywhere from 2 days to 14 days after their procedure.
The wide range is dependent more on what type of work the patient needs to be able to do. Heavy lifting or dirty work will typically require 14 days. Sedentary work requires only 2 -5 days depending on the amount of skin removed and how uncomfortable the patient feels with that degree of tightening.
