Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

When can you resume gently sex after tummy tuck?

Tonyaferguson
I am 2 weeks out of my tummy tuck. Granted my tummy tuck was not one that removed large amounts of skin. I was in good physical shape prior to my surgery. I have been off of all pain pills since the first week and only took 1/2 a pill at a time every 6 to 8 hours. I get up and around very well. Very anxious and ready to get out of this house but don't want to overdo. Just thinking that if we were gentle surely some safe sex couldn't hurt?
