It will most likely limit itself as it will hurt. You should not lift heavy objects, make sudden movements, or absorb shocks for 6 weeks. By heavy, we mean over 10 kg.

Make sure to bend your knees, keep your arms close to your body, and use your stomach/back, buttocks/thighs instead of Breast and arm muscles.

After abdominoplasty, you will have a drain. The drain sucks out the fluid that forms in the wound surface under the skin, thereby preventing fluid from accumulating. The drain is usually kept in place for 1 week, provided that no more than 20 ml per day is collected during the last 24 hours—you can measure this yourself by changing the bag 24 hours before you come in for a check-up to have the drain removed. The drain is often perceived as somewhat uncomfortable to have hanging on the body, but it is absolutely necessary in abdominoplasty to limit the possibility of complications.
Compression garments should be worn day and night for 4 weeks, then 2 weeks during the day, to keep swelling down and help achieve an even result. That is a total of 6 weeks.

It depends on your job. If you have a sedentary job, 2-3 weeks will suffice. If you have a physically demanding job, you will need 4 weeks or more. Most procedures are cosmetic in nature and do not qualify for sick leave. During the consultation, it would be natural to ask the surgeon about this.
