At absolute minimum I recommend 2 weeks of no strenuous activity. Beyond that, it is really a discussion between you and your surgeon. A lot depends on how well you are healing. Best wishes.
Thank you for your question, it is a very common one among my patients.In general, I have patients refrain from sex for 3 weeks to allow for adequate healing. However, every patient and surgeon is different. I recommend you ask your surgeon what they believe the safest length of time would be for you.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL
