Sex after breast augmentation? (Photo)

Normally I recommend that after breast augmentation nobody touches your breasts other than you for 6 weeks. Two weeks is a bit soon, but fortunately nothing noticeable externally has occurred. One thing that we worry about with moving the implants and breast tissue around too soon after surgery, is a hematoma. This means bleeding inside the tissues and around the implant. This would appear externally as one or both breasts becoming much larger  as the area fills with blood and possibly having signs of bruising on the outside. Hematomas  often need to be surgically evacuated, and  even small hematomas that are not evacuated can increase the risk of capsular contracture. Be careful and safe going forward and you will continue to enjoy your outcome as your implants further settle. 

On appearance they look normal. I recommend patients refrain from sexual activity for at least 4-6 weeks to ensure the implants have healed well enough. If you are concerned address this with your surgeon. Regards, 

Hello,I wouldn't be too concerned. The two photos look the same.  I would just be more careful next time. Best of luck!

Thank you for your questions. For all post-op instructions, I highly recommend following your surgeons protocol. However, I personally advice my patients to wait at least two weeks before having sex. 

Hello,I advise my patients to avoid cardio activity for 3 weeks post op in order to reduce the risk of bleeding. As well, I advise no aggressive breast touching for 6 weeks post op. Each Plastic Surgeon has their own preferred post op protocols so it is best that you discuss restrictions with your own surgeon. If they are only a little sore you have not likely done any damage, but If you note swelling or increasing pain, it will be important to have them examine you in person.All the best

Most likely sex a this time has not harmed your breast augmentation. I would not worry about it but try to follow your surgeon's guidelines.  Obviously if you see some serious changes, go and see your surgeon.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD

i always advise my patients to avoid any strenuous activity including sex for at least 4 weeks. Yes you can hurt yourself and as you say your breasts are now sore. It is best you consult with your surgeon to make sure you have no complications.

romp and you're probably fine.  Sex alone isn't bad but if there is manhandling of the girls, then it could result in bleeding that may require going back to the OR and bring additional costs with it.  Glad to hear you and partner are liking your look... be a little patient and then you can really go for it without reservations.  The thing to know is that if your appearances do not change, its unlikely anything detrimental happened.

Not to worry.  Yes they may be a little sore, but enjoy your breasts, as long as the sex is within reason and not too frisky.  You did not harm the end result.

Your plastic surgeon will always be your best resource when it comes to specific instructions in regards to returning to activities. Generally speaking, best to limit strenuous activity for at least 2 weeks after breast augmentation surgery, assuming you are doing well and there have been no complications. Care should be taken during the first one to two weeks after surgery not to allow for elevation of heart rate, blood pressure, and/or direct trauma/contact to the chest wall. Again, generally speaking, most my patients are able to return to lower body exercise at the 1 to 2 week post operative mark, wait to lift/run for about 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Swimming may have to wait a similar amount of time. Other exercises, involving the pectoralis major muscles, may resume several months down the line, if not longer. Again, address your specific questions/concerns to your plastic surgeon, who knows your situation best, and is ultimately responsible for your care. Best wishes.
