When can my HUSBAND have sex with me after my "mommy makeover" is usually the question!
Let's assume both you and you partner are equally interested in resuming normal sexual relations after surgery.

Sexual activity after a Mommy Makeover
I would wait at least 2-3 weeks, but make sure you get clearance in person from your plastic surgeon before embarking on exercise such as sexual activity.

Resuming sex after tummy tuck and breast surgery
I tell patients to wait at least 3 weeks. After that, it's whenever they are BOTH comfortable. Their partner must be gentle, and must refrain from kissing / licking / etc. any incisions. Avoid positions that put a lot of strain on the incisions.
Hope that helps!

Sex After Your Mommy Makeover
The recovery time following a Mommy Makeover can vary depending on the degree of surgery that was performed to the abdomen. If the patient had largely a skin reduction of her abdomen, then gentle sexual relations could comfortably be resumed at four to six weeks. If a patient had significant muscle tightening and especially if a hernia repair was part of the procedure, than the recovery period is longer and sexual relations may need to be deferred for up to 8 weeks. It is only at 8 weeks...

Physical and sexual activity post tummy tuck surgery

Patients may differ in recovery time and may return to physical activities sooner. I would recommend consulting your plastic surgeon prior to any rigorous exercises. However, your body will let you know what you are or are not capable of doing within a couple weeks of resting and taking it easy. Rememeber you have a...

Sexual activity after surgery
Sexual realtions probably can begin within about 3-6 weeks after surgery. For instance, my patients limit aerobics for 3-4 weeks and then can go back to vigoous exercise by 6-8 weeks. So it really depends what you plan on doing?

Yes, you can go back to sex!
I feel that a patient should wait until they feel comfortable with it. I think you should at least wait three weeks.

Resuming activities after Mommy Makeover
The exact timing of your recovery depends on a number of factors, including the exact procedures you are having performed, and you should probably wait at least 3 or more weeks before resuming sexual activities. Always make sure your plastic surgeon has cleared you for any increase in physical activity.

Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover consists of several procedures involving the abdomen, breasts, arms or the body. Since you have not made it clear regarding which procedures you under went in your question, I can only give you generalized answers.
At 6-8 weeks it is generally safe to have intimate relations with your spouse, provided you do not feel pain, discomfort or pulling sensation in your abdomen. Change of position to the side is something to consider until you feel quite normal. I would avoid...
