I apologize for my poor English. I will be having liposuction on May 6th and I am wondering how long it will take before I can engage in sexual activity with my husband.
Fortunately, there is no body structure that can be damaged by having sex after liposuction. However, the soreness from surgery may prevent some individuals from engaging in and enjoying sex immediately after the procedure. I typically advise my patients to resume sexual activity when they feel physically and mentally comfortable.
There is no evidence to suggest that sexual activity will reverse the effects of your liposuction or have any negative impact on your results. However, it is important to note that you may experience sensitivity, swelling, and possible bruising for up to two weeks following the procedure, which may affect your desire for intimacy. Pay attention to how your body feels and determine when it is comfortable for you. If you have any other concerns, feel free to discuss them with your board-certified dermatologist. We are here to help.
It is advisable to avoid exercise for the first couple of days after surgery to minimize swelling and bruising. Elevated blood pressure during sexual relations should also be considered. Insertion sites should be allowed to heal and seal before being subjected to friction or bodily fluids. Consult with your surgeon for their specific recommendations.
Resuming sexual activity after liposuction is generally safe, but bruising should be taken into consideration. Individual surgeons may have their own recommendations regarding this.
The timeframe for recovery can vary, but in general, it is recommended to wait for at least 2 weeks before assessing how you feel and if you experience any discomfort. Based on your comfort level and healing progress, you can adjust your activities accordingly or take additional time to heal.
