    Default How long did you take off work after your boob job????

    Did you get another job in the meantime??
    I have to wear my post op bra for a month so I was thinking of getting a waitressing or bar job or something around 2 weeks in.

    I had my day job at the time and went back to work & school after 10 days. I was just hostessing so it wasn't straining at all and I tried to keep my bag light at school. You aren't supposed to do any heavy lifting. I didn't go back to dancing for like two months or so because I didn't feel like they looked good yet.

    I could've gone back in six weeks, but I took two and a half months off because I'm lazy and wanted to go on vacation.

    The one issue I didn't factor in were spit stitches. At four weeks I thought it would be okay to work, but by week five I had a few small open wounds. Didn't want to risk infection (we all know clubs are filthy) so I stayed home.

    The minimum I have heard girls take off is 4 weeks, but I feel like that's pushing it. I think it just depends on your healing process. I took 6 weeks off and worked really light for the first two weeks. If I could have afforded it I would have taken 8.

    I didn't go back because of the strain it puts on them and risk of infection. My boobs also just didn't look that great, feel normal (or just not feel super tender) until about two months.

    I plan on taking 2 months off for mine. My last BA, I went back in 4-6 weeks and still had that high funky look. Ugh.

    ^^ Are you still happy with yours? You might not need the 2 months since your tissues are already stretched, unless you make a huge jump in cc's. Nothing wrong with waiting until they're soft and look good, or vacation though!

    At 4 weeks mine looked just barely okay as far as the slope went, but they were literally shiny, hard, and I would've had to put makeup over the incisions for sure.

    I get a lot of compliments on how natural and pretty they look. I want them a little wider. I also have cc but it's not noticeable.

    ^A girl I know did that-she was back at work a week post op and switched to a touching club with fresh areola incisions .

    Maybe that girl had overs? Even then. Should've let the incisions heal fully.

    I am glad to see that there is a thread on this. I just had my boob job last Wednesday(January 28th). I work a full-time vanilla job in addition to being a masseuse and webcamming sometimes. I'm using my 1 week of paid vacation time and 2 weeks of unpaid medical leave with my vanilla job due to its physical nature(warehouse, heavy lifting of 75+ lbs). I stupidly figured that I'd be able to cam during my time off. In reality I was in so much pain for the first few days after my surgery that I didn't even do anything besides lay in bed watching tv. I had a friend staying with me, helping me get up out of bed, bringing me food and water and meds, helping me to the bathroom etc. I tried camming today but was not able to do so for more than a half hour at a time. It seems that I tire easily and on top of it I'm pmsing and cranky feeling. I think maybe cam customers pick up on that because I've only had 4 customers all day. I would like to know what ladies on here who've had a boob job do for income during their down time?

    What did you guys do to keep yourself busy and not bored out of your mind???
    I'm hoping to make some extra money so I could go on holiday but otherwise I feel like I'd go crazy not doing anything for a whole month

    I've been reading a lot of books, magazines, and watching movies. One of my friends let me borrow his movie collection and I've just been watching every one of them. It's driving me nuts though. I'm not used to being this inactive. It's winter here and too cold for me to go for a walk. I went out to the store just to get out but then felt exhausted afterwards. The sucky part is how exhausted every little simple task such as washing dishes or cooking makes you. I will be so glad when I am back to my old self as far as energy goes.

    I'm going to spending my recovery time in my parents' house.
    I don't know if they're going to know I'm recovering.
    I told my mum I'm getting the surgery in march/april time. And because she doesn't want me to get it done if she knows exactly when im doing it she won't let me stay in the house. which is why i don't want to tell her the exact date
    But she won't be there, she'll be half way across the world. my stepdad will be there but he works in london most of the week.
    so im going to try and hide it - ish

    i know my stepdad will call me lazy if i'm lounging around for a month (wouldn't you if you didn't know)
    so im trying to think of different ways to make me look busy while i recover

    I don't think you'll be able to get away with it.

    I came home from surgery fucking euphoric from whatever they gave me for pain in the IV. After it wore off, I was miserable and could barely use a light switch. I couldn't take off my pants to take a piss, so my boyfriend had to help me. (I could wipe tho, lol). I couldn't get into and out of bed on the second and third day because I had terrible muscle pains from overcompensating (you really shouldn't use your pecs). You're advised not to carry much (my Dr recommended 10 lbs) for around a month. I got a fairly generous supply of oxycontin (five days worth, I think?), but it wasn't a substantial dose. It took the entire five days before I was feeling just mildly handicapped. Not to mention, I would get seriously depressed and cranky about an hour before the next dose. It was obvious to everyone around me before I even noticed.

    I could go on and on and on. My experience was fairly typical and wasn't subjectively as miserable as it sounds. It was actually pretty normal judging from all the forum posts I'd read. But from an outside perspective, there's no way in hell someone else wouldn't know. You'd have to come up with some crazy lie as to why you're totally handicapped for a few days, and then he'd notice the size increase anyway.

    Sorry sweetie but I don't think you'll be able to get the surgery without your mom or stepdad finding out. When I left the hospital after the surgery, I was in so much pain that the simple acts of laying down in my bed, getting up out of bed, opening a water bottle, turning the cap of my medicine bottle, pulling my pants down to use the bathroom, etc were very difficult. I had to have a friend stay with me for the first few days because I had a hard time doing any of those things myself. Around day 4 I was able to get out of bed without much assistance, use the bathroom on my own, and feel somewhat normal again. I am 10 days post op and still struggling to wash my own hair(I can't reach that far yet) and fully shave my armpits(not used to shaving around boob; it's so strange).
