I can seem to find out if it's ill advised to have sex while still having a drain. It's been just over 4 weeks and still have drain in. I only will get to see my boyfriend for few days before being separated for several months

Answer: Odd to still have a drain in Most people don't have a drain in after 4 weeks so you need to speak to your surgeon. If you are having a problem with delayed or slow healing then sexual activity could worsen this. This is something to definitely speak to your doc about since only he/she knows your situation/healing. Good luck!

Answer: Drain in a 4 weeks Thanks for your question. I think the big question I have is the reason why you still have a drain in. I personally don't use drains and would question the reasons for this. Sex at 4 weeks after a tummy tuck usually would be OK but you need to be a little careful and avoid anything that is painful / too vigorous. Why don't you ask your PS whether he/she can remove the drain and while you are in the office (possibly having the drain removed) ask your question regarding sex to your PS?
