I had a tummy tuck a couple years ago but 6 weeks after it I had sexual activity and had an orgasm. I noticed a feeling of pressure/contracting in the abdomen when it happened (twice) would that affect the muscle repair?
Answer: Tummy tuck and sexual activity At six weeks post op patients are generally cleared to resume sexual activity. Contractions that may occur associated with orgasm will not impact your muscle repair nor your results. You are still healing so these temporary contracting sensations are not uncommon. I hope that helps.

Answer: Repair No, your repair is well healed, but you may be feeling some pressure some the scar tissue as you move.

Answer: Muscle contraction after tummy tuck surgery The concern for any strong contraction of the abdominal muscles after a tummy tuck of course is that the repair of the abdominal muscle diastasis could be damaged. After having performed over 8000 tummy tucks, I have only had one patient have their muscle repair damaged from a fit of severe sneezing and this occurred about one week after surgery. By three weeks, the repair on the muscles is considered to be well healed. I allow my patience to resume sexual activity at this time. It would be incredibly unusual to have damage to the abdominal muscle repair six weeks after surgery. In addition, you most likely would have felt a significant pop in the abdomen and a recurrence of the bulging.

Answer: Tummy tuck and sexual activity Thanks so much for your inquire, It's understandable to be concerned about your muscle repair following a tummy tuck, especially if you experienced abdominal pressure during orgasm shortly after surgery

Answer: Becoming active after a tummy tuck I do not believe it would affect the repair in any way. You can put that out of your mind. I hope you are enjoying your tummy tuck!
