How long should I wait to have sex after a breast augmentation
Answer: How soon can I have sex after breast augmentation? After the first week following surgery, you can have sex as soon as you feel comfortable enough to do so. That being said, sexual activity should not involve your breasts for 6 weeks from the time of surgery. While this may sound conservative, a capsule is forming around the breast implant and bleeding can occur if the the capsule is unintentionally ruptured during it's development. Such a rupture can be due to aggressive manipulation of the breast and can occur within the first few to several weeks after surgery. Even small tears that lead to small bleeds can theoretically lead to capsular contractures.

Answer: Physical Intimacy After A Breast Augmentation Surgery In theory you can engage in sexual activity the day after surgery. Specially if the implant is not placed under the muscle (e.g subfascial) in which case you will have very minimal pain. However, it is important to: not have your blood pressure increased, which can cause bleeding and short or long term complications for the implant,not have the implant displaced due to aggressive squeezing.Therefore, I usually permit sexual activity a week after surgery with care and totally normal activity 6 weeks post surgery.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Sex after Breast Augmentation Most surgeons will tell you to wait at least 2 weeks. The reason is that we don't want your blood pressure rising too much as that can lead to a blood collection around the implant called a hematoma. You should also avoid all other activities that raise your blood pressure, like working out or getting overly excited. After 2 weeks, you should approach it carefully. Avoid movements that can cause you or your partner to dislodge the placement of the implant for about 6 weeks. You should also follow the advice of your plastic surgeon. Hope this helps.

Answer: Breast Augmentation/Breast Implants/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision 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! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon #RealSelfCORESurgeon
