Is it ok to masturbate 4 days after breast augmentation surgery?

Question

Hi I had my surgery four days ago now, I know it's too early to have sex but is it too early to masturbate? Would I cause any damage? Thanks

Luis A. Mejia, MD · Answer

Hi.. thank you for the question... Every Board Certified Plastic Surgeon have different indications.. you should consult this with your PS to avoid any problem..

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

After five days to a week you will be able to resume sexual activities. There is certainly a risk of hematoma with vigorous activity. However, it is up to your surgeon to determine your post-op restrictions.

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

I would definitely wait to engage in masturbation until your swelling is down and if you are bruised or developing a bruise.  Once this is settled, you should be fine.  I would also wait for a good 4-6 weeks before engaging in any sexual activity that involves strenuous manipulation of the breasts.

Jose M. Soler-Baillo, MD, MS · Answer

As long as there is no manipulation of the breasts, you should be fine. Ask for your surgeon's opinion.All the best,Dr. JSB

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

You should get clearance from your own surgeon. I don't see a particular problem with this provided the sexual activity does not involve your breasts.

Bryan Correa, MD · Answer

Each surgeon has slightly different recommendations. In general I advise my patients to avoid any activity that raises the heart rate or blood pressure during the first 3-4 weeks after surgery, as this is the period at highest risk for having a bleeding problem. I hope this helps - good luck!

Vincent D. Lepore, MD (retired) · Answer

I would avoid this.  At just four days post op you are still at significant risk of bruising and/or bleeding if your blood pressure becomes elevated - which it would if you masturbate.   Check with your surgeon regarding when it would be safe to engage in sexual activities.   Best wishes, Dr Lepore.
