What is the recommended wait time before engaging in sexual activity following breast augmentation?
After the first week following surgery, you can engage in sexual activity once you feel comfortable enough to do so. However, it is important to avoid involving your breasts in any sexual activity for 6 weeks following the surgery. This cautious approach is necessary as a capsule is forming around the breast implant, and unintentional rupturing of the capsule can occur during its development, leading to bleeding and potential complications.
Thank you for inquiring about your breast augmentation. Your surgeon should provide you with specific instructions, but in my opinion, it is best to refrain from sexual activity until you have no pain and have fully recovered. Engaging in sexual activity requires energy that your body needs for healing. Typically, this is around 2-3 weeks after surgery. Additionally, it is important to avoid any breast contact during sex for a full six weeks. I hope this information is helpful. Best wishes.
Engaging in sexual activity after surgery is possible, but it is important to avoid increased blood pressure and displacement of the implant. It is generally recommended to wait a week before resuming sexual activity and 6 weeks for normal activity.
Most surgeons advise waiting at least 2 weeks before resuming activities that could increase blood pressure, as it may cause a hematoma (blood collection) around the implant. It is important to avoid activities like vigorous workouts or getting overly excited. After the initial 2-week period, it is advisable to approach activities carefully, avoiding movements that could dislodge the placement of the implant for approximately 6 weeks. Following the advice of your plastic surgeon is crucial during this time. I hope this information helps.
