Are my Breasts Likely to Get Encapsulated from Having Sex (Oral) 10 Days After? (photo)

Question

I recently had breast augmentation where I got 600ccs of cohesive silicone gel placed under the muscle, through the infra-mammary crease. Prior to breast implants I was a 32 B. I recently had oral sex on my partner (sorry to be so specific) but my heart rate was higher than I thought. I am scared I have ruined my results since my right breast become a bit more swollen (i'm not sure if it was or if it is in my head). How likely is it that I caused damage?

You probably did not compromise your recovery, however please keep an eye on your recovery and report anything abnormal to your surgeon.

Luckily I've never heard of any type of sexual activity leading to cc. Your result is very early so it's not uncommon to have swelling appear different on each side. If it's a rapid change I would check with your ps but rest assured cc is not associated with sex

I don't think anything you've done that is sexually related has any effect on the development of capsular contracture.

Andrew Smith, MD, FACS · Answer

Hi Maria. Unless you strained, stretched, or put pressure on your breasts, you don't need to worry about compromising your results. An elevated heart rate can cause increased swelling, but is not related to capsular contracture. If you are still worried, please contact your plastic surgeon. He or she should be happy to answer your questions and put your mind at ease. Good luck.

Jeffrey Zwiren, MD · Answer

Most likely not relation between sexual activity and breast size or the development of a capsular contracture. I would continue to monitor the situation and let your plastic surgeon be aware of the change.
