Why can't I have sex after breast argumentation?

The reason to refrain from sexual activity and most other strenuous activities after surgeries is to decrease the risk of bleeding.I typically don't allow people to go back to full workout (strength training) until 6 weeks after.Hope that helps,Dr Schwartz

Your plastic surgeon will give you the best answer in your specific case about this and sex. For most of my patients I allow sex to begin at 4-6 weeks with the woman on top to minimize the risk of trauma. Here are some of the guidelines I give my patients following breast surgery. Although strenuous activity, and lifting more than twenty pounds, must be avoided for 6 weeks, some people can return to work and daily activities as soon as 2 weeks after surgery. Softening of the surgical scars, return of sensation, and improvement of shape may take several months to a year or more. Light activity is comfortable in 10-20 days. No sports or heavy lifting for 6 weeks or more – please discuss with your doctor for specific questions.

Thank you for your question. I generally recommend waiting until all the swelling is down before engaging in sexual activity. So typically two weeks would be fine. However, I would not recommend a lot breast manipulation as part of your sexual activities until you are closer to six weeks.

Thank you for your question. I advise my patients to avoid cardio, which also includes having sex, for three weeks. This is to reduce your risk of bleeding and increased swelling. It will be worth it to be cautious in the long run!All the best

Most doctors (including myself) limit physical activity following breast augmentation to hopefully reduce the risk for complications such as bleeding.  Sex is, unfortunately, one of those activities.  My personal recommendation to patients is that they limit sex for about 10 days after surgery and then resume...but resume carefully.  No swinging from the chandeliers sex for at least 2-3 weeks depending upon healing.  Sex is a natural, and healthy, part of life and should be enjoyed.  But it should be enjoyed at a time when your are healed enough to not undo the results of your surgery.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!

Hi... thank you for the question.... this is more for precaution... to avoid trauma, hematomas and wait to it have start healing

Dear Kimi, Most surgeons will tell you to wait at least 2 weeks to start having sex after breast augmentation. The reason is that we don't want your blood pressure rising too much as that can lead to a blood collection around the implant called a hematoma. So you should also avoid all other activities that raise your blood pressure, like working out, or getting overly excited. After 2 weeks, you should approach it carefully and avoid movements that can cause you or your partner to dislodge the placement of the implant for about 6 weeks. Of course it is always best to follow the advice of your plastic surgeon as each has different protocols and reasons for them based on your case. Best wishes.

Thanks for your question. It is best to avoid strenuous activity and anything that might place a significant amount of pressure on/near the area of your BA. This may cause a delay/disruption of the healing process. All the best,Dr. JSB

I agree that you want to stay calm and not increase blood pressure for 2 weeks after surgery to diminish the risk of bleeding. I hope this helps, good luck!

is not forbidden but precautions must be taken to prevent what the other doctors talk about.  But initimacy, you can sometimes get caught up in the moment and do something that could be detrimental to your results and could cause complications.  Best to follow your surgeon's recommendations so if something does happen, at least you were being compliant with instructions.  And when you get the green light, you can make up for the lost opportunities!
