Kamalaksha,
Going back to work after a belt lipectomy varies
with each person.
A belt lipectomy is more complicated than just a
tummy tuck. Going back to work after such a surgery
really depends on how fast your body heals, how
healthy you are and whether or not you have any
complications from the surgery.
The average back to work time for a tummy tuck is
1-3 weeks, so if a belt lipectomy is more invasive
and extensive than a tummy tuck, expect the same if
not more for your operation.
For more info on time off from work see
Back To Work One Week After Tummy Tuck.
Concerning the risks – YES, there are serious risks
involved. A belt lipectomy is major invasive
surgery.
I would suggest that you take a look at our tummy
tuck forum to get a good idea of the risks as well
as
Tummy Tuck Complications and Risks.
If you haven’t already done so and want to know more
what is involved in a belt lipectomy you might want
to visit my home page
TummyTuckForMen.com. It describes my operation
(which is essentially the same thing as a belt
lipectomy) and everything that I went through.
Good luck,
Tanner
