I had this done in Nov. I had alot removed. I returned to work after 4 weeks but I have an office job. I heal well luckily and I felt ok at prob 3 weeks but internally takes alot longer to heal and even now I get the odd twinge from scar tissue. Don't over do it too soon as you'll only end up doing more damage. Hope it all goes well for you x

Thankyou Hun..it’s just my supervisors are asking me how long I will be off for but there’s no exact time you can give them is there..everyone heals differently suppose just after take it day by day & go back in when I feel ready..I’m a housekeeper so my job is very physical.i don’t want to be going back too soon.xx

I'd say at least 4 weeks and then review it x
