Belly Button and Muscle Pain 2 Weeks after Tummy Tuck

Belly button and muscle pain following sexual activity 2 weeks after a tummy tuck is probably a normal response, but an examination needs to rule out anything that may have occurred. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Sexual Activity and Tummy Tuck

Vigorous activity including sexual activity two weeks after a tummy tuck can definitely make the operated area very sore even if you have not "damaged" anything. Rest for now but schedule a follow up in the near future for your surgeon to examine your tummy to make sure there is no problem.

Tummy tuck and discomfort

Some mild discomfort after a tummy tuck is normal. If you are overly concerned, it may be best to check with your surgeon.

Belly Button and Muscle Pain 2 Weeks Post TT

These symptoms you describe are so common as to be considered normal. It is not suggestive that anything has gone wrong. Questions such as this are best directed to your own surgeon, who knows what was done, knows you, and has followed your progress. All the best.

Pain after a Tummy Tuck

It seems what you are experiencing is normal for 2 weeks after surgery. The "stinging" that you are feeling are the nerves trying to regenerate. Just to be sure that this is normal, I recommend following up with your plastic surgeon.
