It would be reasonable wait 2 weeks before resuming sexual activity after surgery. This is to reduce risk of bleeding and implant displacement. I still recommend to avoid exercises for four weeks at sex can be considered a sort of physical activity. Furthermore I advice to keep the bra on for four weeks postoperatevely.
Hi there,In general, I advise my patients not to engage in any strenuous activities, heavy lifting, upper chest exercise etc for the first 4 to 6 weeks post op breast augmentation. In particular, I also emphasise to my patients that it'll be extremely important to refrain from doing any thing that will raise their blood pressure (including having sex) in the first 7 to 10 days as there is still risk of haematoma during that period of time. Obviously common sense apply, even if my patient is to resume normal sexual activity after that period of time, they are always reminded to be extra careful and gentle with their breasts as the healing are still fresh and in early stage and they'll need to be mindful at all times. Otherwise they should be able to slowly ease back to their normal routines.Hope this helps.Ellis Choy
Thanks for your question. I tell my patients to wait for at least 2 weeks until having intercourse, because the aerobic nature of it, similar to any exercise after surgery can cause high blood pressure which can leading to bleeding or hematoma. After two weeks I allow patients to resume aerobic exericise (no weights) or sex (no breast implant manipulation). I also don't recommend heavy manipulation of the breast implant for at least 4 weeks. I hope this is helpful.
