Hello, I got my anatomical teardrop implants 5 weeks ago, And I wanted to know how long I should wait before me and my partner can start having sex normally, I am constantly worried that if he touches or squeezes them hard or pushes them together( sorry for being to specific) that they will be displaced or rupture, when is it ok to stop panicking and just resume normal activity ?

Answer: 5 weeks post op, How long should I wait for sexual activity after Breast Augmentation? Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to specific instructions in regards to returning to activities. Generally speaking, best to limit strenuous activity for at least 2 weeks after breast augmentation surgery, assuming you are doing well and there have been no complications. Care should be taken during the first one to two weeks after surgery not to allow for elevation of heart rate, blood pressure, and/or direct trauma/contact to the chest wall. Again, generally speaking, most my patients are able to return to lower body exercise at the 1 to 2 week post operative mark, wait to lift/run for about 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Swimming may have to wait a similar amount of time. Other exercises, involving the pectoralis major muscles, may resume several months down the line, if not longer. Again, address your specific questions/concerns to your plastic surgeon, who knows your situation best, and is ultimately responsible for your care. Best wishes.

Answer: 5 weeks post op, How long should I wait for sexual activity after Breast Augmentation? I think as long as you are not too rough with your breasts, you should be fine to engage in intimacy at this point. It's always best to check with your surgeon. Good luck
