Can I have sex 1 week after mastopexy? Would gentle, comfortable, sex REALLY affect my results?

Asked By:Idontknowanything in Los Angeles, CA

I'm a healthy 21 yr old & had a breast lift(no implants) done at UCLA 8 days ago. I only mild discomfort & I'm no longer on pain meds & antibiotics. Ucla said to wait 3 more weeks but didn't really explain why. If I'm really careful, don't get my heart rate up, & don't do positions that would put stress on my chest what's the big deal? I'm currently using a wrap/bandage & a post-surgical bra on top of it which restricts breast movement that I'd leave on during sex, & of course make it quick.
