I waited 3 weeks. My surgeon recommended 3-4 as your incisions swell with sexual excitement. I noticed this and they burned after. I did allow a little breast contact, gentle of course. We are obviously both very curious of the new boobies!!! So far so good!! Just very sensitive.

I waited one week almost lol. But husband had minor surgery before mine and after one week waitin actually made two weeks cause of his procedure. It wasn't painful it actually took my mind off the BR pain

Four weeks, and I kept my bra on. The boobs weren't really involved in the process so it didn't hurt. I was really tired though.

My aftercare papers and what my surgeon actually told me were slightly different. The papers said no sex for at least a week. However, when I asked my surgeon at the preop appointment, she said I could do it whenever I felt up for it, as long as I was in a position where my breasts were being squished. I ended up waiting about 2 and a half weeks, and it wasn't painful at all.

I think a little over a week. I had to be on top and in control. Any other way hurt for a few weeks.

I waited one week. When I went back for my post op, my PS informed me that I could do all normal activities. We was still careful. I kept my bra on to be on the safe side.
