Is orgasm (no physical intercourse) okay after BA?

Question

I am exactly 2wks post op today feeling great, I had a few orgasms over the past three days, not from direct intercourse, (the breasts were not touched during) but the chest muscles and core are contracting during the big “O” ... The O didn’t take long so my blood pressure wasn’t elevated for an extended time. I’m afraid to call my doctor bc I feel like I bother him, don’t want to be scolded. Is this okay? I am afraid I did something to them bc they feel tight swollen now

Hi dchristine1, Based on your question, it should not have any direct effect on your breast augmentation surgery. However, if ever you notice discomfort or any other unpleasant symptoms associated with your implants, you should visit your plastic surgeon for a thorough assessment. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for your question.Having an orgasm should not affect your recovery but if you are in pain you should contact your surgeon. Some swelling is normal but it is better to check with your surgeon I'm sure they will not scold you regarding this.

What you are describing does not sound like it will affect the results. Without examining you it is difficult to be entirely sure so I would definitely mention it to your surgeon at your next appointment. Best of luck!

No problem at all.  At 2 weeks, raising your blood pressure with an orgasms or by other means won't cause issues.  If you contracted your chest muscles during your orgasm, that may still be somewhat uncomfortable at the time of contraction, but it's not going to mess up your breast augmentation.  If you feel extra tight or have visibly increased swelling, that is worth getting checked out.  But I do not think it has any real association with you orgasms.  Also, don't be afraid to ask your surgeon things like this.  We, as plastic surgeons, are quite used to questions like yours.  So, congrats on your breast augmentation, and go have fun.

Good day, What you describe should not have affected your results whatsoever. At the very most you may just be feeling slight soreness from the muscle contractions during your orgasm. Let your plastic surgeon know during your next follow up appointment. Best Regards

Hello and thank you for your question. This should not have effected your final result. Best of luck with your continued healing.

It should not be a problem after the first week.  Would discuss on your post-op visit though.
