How much time off work is needed for a tummy tuck?

Top 10 question we get! Depends on your occupation. It is usually 2-3 weeks. If you are very active, standing long periods of time you will need 3 weeks. Examples are nurses, hairdressers, real estate agents. Women who have less active jobs like desk work, 2 weeks are usually sufficient. I don't recommend trying to return to work sooner, because inevitably patients are sent home early due to discomfort. Best to give the body the adequate time to heal.
