I had a lift and a bit of a reduction. In my 2 weeks post op a friend hugged and lifted me. Will this effect my healing?

Thank you for your question. As long as your incision is intact, and there is no new bleeding, there is likely no damage.  If you have a concern, see your surgeon and have the surgery site evaluated.  I hope this helps!

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

It is possible to disrupt a wound in the manner you mention.  However, if everything is visibly intact you have little to worry about.

Luis Macias, MD, FACS · Answer

Be very careful with your breasts as you are still very early in your post operative period.   Contact your plastic surgeon if you suspect any injury or if you notice any changes.

Russell Ashinoff, MD, FACS · Answer

I would be careful with your breasts as the incisions and tissues are still healing. If you have any concern that there might be an issue, I would contact your plastic surgeon.

Chad Robbins, MD · Answer

I would also recommend returning to your surgeon for an assessment.  Avoiding crowded places where people can bump into you, and warning friends and family that you can't be hugged tightly due to surgery (they don't have to know what type of surgery) is best for the first 6 weeks post operatively.
