Erectile dysfunction post tummy tuck. Is this normal?

This is not common. You should discuss this with your surgeon and primary care physician. Be well.

Hi, Thank you for your question. I have not come across any issues involving erectile dysfunction after an abdominoplasty. 6 days post op is really too soon to be participating in any kind of sexual activity. I usually advise my patients to wait at least a month. I would follow up with your plastic surgeon to make sure you are following post op instructions and restrictions.

A properly executed male tummy tuck should not result in any long-term health problem.  In fact, studies have suggested that it could provide some health benefits--e.g., motivation to keep a stable weight, and increased satiety (possibly since it removes fat cells that are believed to contribute to hunger signals).Also bear in mind that it takes about 6-8 weeks to fully recover from tummy tuck.  For this reason, you may notice that you easily tire (or feel somewhat lethargic) during this period. Good luck and best wishes.
