How long should I wait to have sex after a breast augmentation?

I'll instruct my patients no heavy bouncing of the breasts for 3 weeks you can do gentler activity sooner.Sincerely Dr Gartner 

I appreciate your question.

Typically, my guideline is, the first week is the hardest. By the second week you feel better, at four weeks you feel 100% and at six weeks you can go back to complete normal routines and exercising. I recommend for my patients no strenuous activity or heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks following surgery.
Four days after surgery, I would be careful as you are still at risk for bleeding. If you are taking any pain medication, I would not drink alcohol.   Please discuss with your surgeon.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery.

 

Best of luck!
