Plastic Surgery Recovery Calculator

Welcome to the Plastic Surgery Recovery Calculator! We created this resource on recovery time for the most popular plastic surgery procedures performed every year.

Recovery time is such a key question when it comes to cosmetic surgery. How long will I have to take off from work after liposuction? When can I get back to my normal routine after a Mommy Makeover? Should I take a break from the gym after breast implants / breast augmentation? Will I need help at home as I recover from a tummy tuck?

The Plastic Surgery Recovery Calculator answers those questions and more. Naturally it takes time to recover from plastic surgery. We created this recovery timeline to help you plan for time off and help at home. More importantly, with the Plastic Surgery Recovery Calculator, you will have a better idea of when you can return to your normal routine after cosmetic surgery.

Plastic Surgery Recovery Calculator – How It Works

Using the Plastic Surgery Recovery Calculator is easy! First select a plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery procedure from the drop-down menu. Next, choose a date for when you might wish to visit with Dr. Tannan for a surgical consultation. From there, the recovery calculator does all the work. It displays a plastic surgery recovery timeline for when you might expect to return to light activity, and when you should be back to your normal routine.

The complete list of procedures with average recovery time includes:

BREAST: Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift, Breast Reconstruction, Breast Reduction, Breast Revision
BODY: Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, Buttock Lift, Arm Lift, Thigh Lift, Labiaplasty, Gynecomastia
FACE: Facelift, Lip Augmentation, Eyelid Surgery, Brow Lift, Rhinoplasty

Please take note, this is only an estimate of recovery time. Actual time to recover from a cosmetic surgery procedure will vary based on your specific situation and surgical needs. A board certified plastic surgeon will help you develop a personalized plan to achieve your goals. And if your particular plastic surgery procedure or combination of procedures is not listed here, don’t worry! We can work on a customized treatment plan and recovery timeline during your consultation.
