I was advised to wait 4 weeks (30 days) since my Tummy Tuck surgery to have an intercourse. I didn't listen and engaged in sexual activity within the first week. I now have a seroma with has blood in it, which has been drained thrice. Is it possible that I may have broken my sutures in my abdomen? If so will I need a corrective surgery?

Answer: #PossibleInjuryAfterMommyMakeover Without an exam and looking at the character and amount of fluid you have retained it is impossible to answer your questions. I agree it was foolish and potentially harmful to have sex against medical advice so soon after your surgery. Close follow up by your plastic surgeon and following his/her advice carefully needed at this point.

Answer: Seroma after tummy tuck Seroma is a relatively common minor complication following tummy tuck surgery. It is prevented by placing drains during surgery, and leaving them in place for a sufficient amount of time. While it is theoretically possible that you may have affected your internal plication suture line, or the healing of your wound, by engaging in intercourse in the early post-op period, it is unlikely that this is the cause of your seroma. Without examining you, it is very difficult to tell if any further intervention beyond your current care is needed. I'd recommend continued regular follow-up with your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Take care of your results It is advisable to avoid strenuous physical activity for 2 months after abdominoplasty. Activity before that time can result in hematoma, seroma, wound failure and other complications.
