    Check with your medical team as they know the extent of the work they did.
    If there was an accident it may negate your insurance so best to check. 
    I was told 6 weeks for single R mastectomy only.

    Yes agree with @June1952
    Everyone is different and your medical team can give you a guide.
    I couldn’t drive until 6 weeks from my mastectomy ( skin sparing  with insertion of tissue expanders) and same with my DIEP flap surgery 10  months later.
