Of course I will be Skin my doctor at my preop but I was just wondering approximately how long after a full anchor breast lift do I have to wait to have sex? Also how much time off of work do you think I will need? I work in retail and I don't really have to lift much and I can always get someone else to do it if I do have to.

Answer: When can I have sex after an anchor breast lift? 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: Breast lift and sex I am more liberal than most PS, but you must confer with your treating PS. " gentle " sex can ge resumed when you are up to it and there are no medical issues. Remember , you must treat your surgical wounds like a newborn baby. You must show the same care to your surgery site as you to a newborn. The first few days are critical, but as you heal, the limitations of your surgery diminish.
