I just started with this site and I love it. But my question is how long after having a tummy tuck with muscle repair and lipo can u have sex? I ask because after seeing the ladies stomachs the stitches the swelling and drains it's just like damn don't do anything for a year. How long does it take for your insides to heal? And what positions would be okay to do after having the work done? I hope these aren't stupid questions but I just had to ask.

Answer: Can I have sex after tummy tuck? Absolutely you can have sex after a tummy tuck. Most patients in my practice are advised to wait about 3-4 weeks before resuming sexual activities. Most incisions are well healed by this time. Post operative pain should be significantly diminished by then. It really depends on when the patient feels physically and emotionally ready. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Sex and Surgery This is not a "stupid" question. Sex is an important part of the majority of people's lives. Surgery does affect your intimate relationships. Every surgeon has his/her guidelines. I typically advise abstaining for 4 weeks after tummy tuck but this can vary with the specific patient situation.Dr. ES
