I am 5 days post-procedure and all drainage has stopped from the 7 incisions of the abdominals, flanks and bra fat areas. I am still swollen and am using my compression garment. I can fit into my previous clothes, although snuggly. Pain level is tolerable, mostly soreness. Otherwise, I have energy and have resumed normal ADL, except my exercise routine. Is gentle missionary activity ok or can it interfere with the healing process?

Otherwise, I have energy and have resumed normal ADL, " but despite the soreness and swelling you want to resume having sex and wanted to know if "Is gentle missionary activity ok or can it interfere with the healing process?" Wow! more

Sexual activity after Smartlipo is a matter of comfort

There are very few types of physical activity after Smartlipo surgery that will have a negative impact on your recovery or the final result. Sexual activity may resume as soon as you feel comfortable afterwards.
