When to resume sexual activity after breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that requires adequate recovery time before resuming various activities, including sexual activity. There are many myths and urban legends about resuming sexual activity after this procedure, so it is important to distinguish facts from misconceptions and follow the sound advice of healthcare professionals.

Urban legends about resuming sexual activity after breast augmentation

• Immediate resumption without risks: A common myth is that sexual activity can be resumed immediately after the operation without consequences. This can actually lead to complications, such as worsening swelling or even displacement of the implants.
• Impacts on Sensitivity: There is a belief that surgery could either improve or permanently decrease breast sensitivity, thereby affecting the sexual experience. Although sensitivity may be affected temporarily, most women return to normal sensitivity over time.

Advice for resuming sexual activity

• Wait for the surgeon's recommendation: It is generally advisable to wait about 2 to 4 weeks before resuming sexual activity. This allows the incisions to begin to heal and helps prevent infections and complications. Each case is unique, so following your surgeon's advice is essential.
• Avoid pressure on the breasts: During the first few weeks, it is crucial to avoid excessive pressure on the breasts. This includes direct, sustained contact that might occur during sexual activity. Positioning carefully to avoid putting weight or pressure on the chest can help prevent pain and the risk of implant displacement.
• Listen to your body: It is important to remain attentive to any pain or discomfort. If sexual activity causes pain, it is best to stop it and consult your surgeon. Comfort should always be a priority.
• Communication with partner: Openly discuss limitations and the importance of caution with your partner to avoid compromising the results of surgery. Mutual understanding can help maintain intimacy while respecting the healing process.
• Maintaining Post-Operative Care: Continuing to follow all post-operative instructions, such as wearing special support bras and administering medications, is vital during the period of resuming sexual activity.

By following these tips and maintaining open communication with your surgeon and your partner, you can return to your sex life safely and satisfactorily after a mammal augmentation. Remember that caution is essential for complete healing and successful cosmetic results.
