When can you resume gently sex after tummy tuck?

Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to specific information/advice. He/she knows exactly what was done and how you are progressing. Concerns would include an increase in heart rate and the potential for bleeding.  Muscle spasm may be painful. Obviously, significant pressure on the surgical site is not a good idea either. It is not uncommon for patients to report increased swelling that occurs after vigorous exercise (including sexual activity),  even several months after tummy tuck surgery.I hope this helps. 

From your description it seems you are healing well from surgery. It is best to discuss resuming activity with your surgeon since he/she is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. At two weeks post op it's early to begin physical activity. Your surgeon will advise if it's okay to proceed with physical intimacy.

Thank you for your question. It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes for recovery varies greatly among individuals. Depending on the extent of your abdominoplasty and your general physical condition. Any sexual activity should be avoided for a minimum of two weeks.Dhaval M.
