Waiting at least 2 weeks to resume some level of activity is typically recommended, after 4 weeks you should be able to resume full cardio workouts.
Everything that fits into the recommended activity guidelines is safe.After breast implant surgery, I advise the patients to take one week off from work. At that point we take out their stitches and teach them the implant massage technique. We suggest 5 times per day with the massage and no bra for one month. The patients may return to work, but may not engage in any strenuous activity. At one month, the patients start to wear a soft cup bra with no underwire and can start low impact cardio. At two months they can wear an underwire bra and engage in more strenuous physical activity. Breast massage continues forever, although only once per day.
Hello,I would not advise any restrictions for my patients in this area at one month post op,Take care
Hello,At four weeks, you are safe to have sex and masturbate. Your risk of hematoma is virtually zero. Best of luck!
Hello, generally if there is no actual pressure or trauma to the breasts, other forms of sexual activity 4 weeks postop should be ok. If you have any reservations or questions about a specific activity it's best to check first with your surgeon.
I appreciate your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon
