Hairstylist & Recovery HELP!

Hey Girls,
I’m having my Op in April. I’ve seen lots of stories about recovery and spoken to my PC about time off work after the op. I’m a hairstylist, my clientele isn’t massive. My PC said 2weeks off work will be fine but I’m worried that it won’t be enough.
Is there anyone else who is a hairstylist or a similar job that is physical on the upper body.
Just need some advice and reassurance. Thanks in advance girlies x

Hey hun!
I am 8dpo now and can tell u I can do nearly everything like before:) first days feel hard, u will feel sore n tired from everything, bit knocked off from medc too but around 6-7 post op I felt so much upbeat, getting my flexibility back. I am restaurant&bar manager( massive 2 floor venue)so I do walk a lot, always hands on involves lifting few things around.. took two weeks off n can feel already now that’s more then enough:) I know we all different n recovery can take different time too but if u do short walks after week post op( I had mine 4 days post op already) u get back to your daily routine n feeling yourself again 😉 x

Thank you so much Martina!!! That’s massive put my mind at rest! Xx

U very welcome hun x! Hope your recovery goes well n if u have any questions or concerns need some tips let me know x

I’m a self employed hairdresser and had 10 days off, I could have gone back sooner. Iv been back 3 days now and felt absolutely fine x

I’m also a hairdresser and I went back after 10 days. I was making cups of tea, was able to put my hair up on a ponytail and dress myself easily enough from day one. I felt like I could’ve been back at work by about day 4 in all honesty but I didn’t want to ruin the amazing work the surgeon did. Good luck x

I’m a hair stylist and I’m having my op in July and I’ve booked off 3 weeks to recover as my friend had hers done and was back in 2 weeks but couldn’t blow dry properly because of lifting her arms up. Hope that’s helped xx
