Sex positions after Breast Augmentation.

Question

Are there certain sexual positions that are better than others during BA recovery?

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

I advise my patients that they can resume sexual activities after three weeks to a month. After that time, just about any position is fine, as long as it's comfortable and doesn't apply too much tension on your breasts or incisions. Each surgeon has their own guidelines when it comes to postoperative care. Ask your surgeon what they recommend for you. Good luck and be safe.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Typically patients can return to sexual activity as they feel comfortable.  It is important to not manipulate the breast excessively or apply too much pressure.  Be mindful of new incisions and any remaining sutures.  Your surgeon is the best person to advise you when resuming activities as he/she is most familiar with how you've been progressing through recovery.

Young R. Cho, MD, PhD · Answer

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.

Alex Campbell, MD · Answer

Basically I tell women that they can return to sexual activity when they are comfortable.  After breast augmentation we want to protect the incisions and avoid external trauma for the first three weeks or so, and then be relatively careful with everything until everything is really settled at two months.  So, basically, take it slow and if it hurts, stop...  No restrictions after two months.

I discuss sex preoperatively. Any physical activity performed too early can be detrimental to your healing. Most women can safely lie on their back.As long as your partner is gentle with your breasts, you should be fine. Limit pectoral muscle use for 3 weeks after breast augmentation.
