Sexual activity after Tummy Tuck revision?

Thank you for your question. It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes for recovery varies greatly among individuals. Depending on the extent of your abdominoplasty and your general physical condition. Any sexual activity should be avoided for a minimum of two weeks.Dhaval M.

This largely depends on how extensive your procedure was. Always best to check with your plastic surgeon for the best advice. I generally allow most of my tt patients to have sex after six weeks with the woman in the top position so she is in control to make it less likely for an injury to occur.#sexaftersurgery#TT#tummytuck

Hi Beck, As you can see the answer would vary from surgeon to surgeon, practice to practise, & more importantly the extent of the surgery. I usually advise my patients to resume intimacy 3-4 weeks following the procedure starting off gently at first and in positions which do not strain the core. After 5-6 weeks, you are all set to go.Wishing you a quick recovery! All the best.

I recommend my patients wait anywhere between 2-4 weeks before gently easing back into sexual activity.  This time frame depends on how well they are progressing.  Please ask your surgeon.  This is a legitimate question that your surgeon should willing answer.
