I don't want to say nothing inappropriate, but after breast implant surgery, if I touched or massaged by breasts after the surgery or let's say weeks after the surgery would my breasts be in lots of pain? Doctors on real self told me the swelling can take a few weeks to go down? Would sexual foreplay, of my boyfriend playing with my breasts rupture the implant, as one doctor told me something similar on real self?

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery Recovery is variable. However, I generally tell patients to expect a 6 week recovery. They will be able to resume the majority of their usual activities by 7-10 days (2 weeks at the most). Swelling and settling of the implants can continue for the first 6-8 weeks.I generally discourage exercise for 4 weeks and heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 6 weeks.The question of sexual activity is dependent upon the nature of the activity. I would tend to discourage aggressive handling of the operative site for 6 weeks post operatively. This is not for fear of damaging the implants as they are nearly indestructible (you can run them over with a car). Rather, this is to avoid traumatizing the tissue and changing the pocket in the early pot-op period.However, the best advice is always to follow the recommendations of your board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: When healed from augmentation as you would be weeks after surgery, there is no risk of damage from foreplay or intimacy in any way. Once cleared for activities, you should be able to do anything you please in any way you want to.
