How Risky is Masturbation After Breast Augmentation? I Am Ten Days Post Op and Did It Today but Am Now Concerned!

OCButterflyApr 28, 2013
I couldn't take this "no sex" for two week rule but thought masturbation would be ok, although now I realize that my heart rate went up and am concerned if that was a bad idea. I won't be doing it again but was wondering how risky that was and if I should be concerned or call my doctor?
