Hey hun, i’m a beauty therapist 🙂 That is a hard one as our job is pretty physical! Especially when it comes to massage! I haven’t had my surgery yet, luckily for me my job is seasonal so I’ve booked it for just after I finish for the season! lol. I’ve got a good few months to recover however am planning on doing treatments from home during this time. I would have said no less than 2 weeks, but then you also don’t know how well you are going to recover. Would your work be flexible if you don’t feel up to it? or maybe stick to less strenuous treatments like manicures for when you first go back? Sorry I cant be more help! I can understand why you would be abit worried about this! Hopefully you will be feeling well enough after 2 weeks x
