Introduction
In general, it is recommended to wait 1 to 2 months after breast augmentation surgery before resuming sexual activity, but the exact timing should be determined based on individual recovery. If a person is in good health and recovers quickly, the breasts may stabilize gradually after about one month, at which point sexual activity can typically resume. However, if there is significant postoperative swelling or recurrent infections at the incision sites, the recovery period may be prolonged.
