SEX AFTER PLASTIC SURGERY: WHEN IT’S FINALLY POSSIBLE?
It is the question most of the patients are stumbling to ask their plastic surgeons.
Sex is part of our daily life that is hard to discuss. Of course, a professional surgeon won’t feel uncomfortable with a question like that and will provide an accurate and medically correct answer to it. But if you still can’t overpower yourself and just ask, this article is for you!
Of course, the time needed for the recovery process depends on the procedure you had, your lifestyle and your body’s ability to heal itself. We will give information about the average time it is usually needed to get back on track, but remember to carefully listen to your body and trust your own feelings.
Breast augmentation
We know how big is a craving to give a try to your new advanced and curvy breast as soon as possible, but we suggest you not to hurry. If the breasts aren’t healed enough your intimate activity can be quite painful and disappointing. But even this isn’t as bad as disruption and bleeding that can happen as a result of too energetic intimate actions.
An average time that should pass since the surgery is at least two weeks, and even after that, you should do it as carefully and slowly as possible. Pay attention to the incisions because they are the part of the breast that is most prone to the infections. Also, make sure to treat them gently because they can start to bleed easily. Try to avoid any manipulations that can relocate the implants for about 2 months since the surgery. After all, at first, just watching these enhanced shapes is pleasant enough!
Full body liposuction
We have great news for those who did liposuction recently and can’t wait to show off their refined body shape to their partner: when the liposuction is done correctly, there is no inner body structure that was damaged, which means that you are practically ready for any types of contact activities you would like to participate in. Unfortunately, soreness and swelling are usuall consequences right after the liposuction, but as soon as they pass you are good to go!
Tummy tuck
Comparing with the full body liposuction, the prediction for those who did the Abdominoplasty surgery isn’t so bright. On average the recovery takes about 3 weeks, but in some cases, it can take longer. The reason is that Tummy tuck is a relatively major surgery that involves different muscles and tissues in your belly area. Thus the progress of recovery depends on many factors, for example, the level of muscle repair, incision’s condition and presence of drains. The best you can do is to have patience and listen to your body. After all long waiting can make the return to sexual activities even more amazing.
Facial plastic surgeries
The main thing about sex after any plastic surgeries on your face is to avoid it for at least 3 weeks. The reason is that during the sexual activity the blood pressure is always increasing which can lead to swelling and even bleeding in the head, which in return can lead to complications or prolongated recovery period. While having intimacy time please try your best to avoid the contact of your face with any surfaces.
Rhinoplasty — is a special case that requires additional precautions. Thanks to the physiological shape of our noses, it is super easy to get a nasal trauma during sex or any other physical activity that can end up in contact of anything with your nose. Thus, please wait for at least six to eight weeks (that is the average time that is needed for your nose to heal) before having any bedroom activities.
