Bear hug after boob job 4 days ago. When can I receive hugs from my family and friends?

Thank you for your question.Hugging after surgery is not limited.  I would just use caution for the first 3 weeks to be gentle. Once you are past about 6 weeks, a bear hug should not cause any problems.

Hello and thank you for your question. 
After having a breast augmentation it is very important to avoid direct pressure to the breasts. I generally tell my patients that they should refrain from receiving any direct manipulation to the breasts for at least one month after surgery. This allows for healing of the incision to occur without trauma to the breast tissue.As long as the hug you are receiving is not vigorous then there should not be a problem after one week of surgery.
Hope this helps answer question.
