Should you avoid holding your phone after breast augmentation surgery?

Great question!  Using your phone during the post-operative period is fine and shouldn't affect the healing.  If you are right hand dominant, sometimes that side is more tender due to use of that arm more as you're healing (opening doors, carrying things, ect).  Try using your left hand more with activities and it should ease up.  I would definitely let your surgeon be aware and maybe have a followup soon just to check up on things.Best of luck and hope this information helps!

Thank you for your question! The answer is no, it is not necessary to avoid holding your phone post surgery. It is not heavy enough to cause any  damage. I recommend that my patients avoid lifting over 10 lbs for the first 6 weeks post op. I also recommend discussing specific post op instructions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

No heavy lifting refers to about 10 pounds or more, your cell phone should not fall into this category, however, using your dominate hand more may make a difference, try using your left hand for awhile. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Good luck.
