This week on Lipstick and Lipo we are answering a viewer question that a lot of patients want to ask but do not always feel comfortable bringing up. When can you resume intimacy after surgery?
As board certified plastic surgeons we treat physical intimacy the same way we treat any other physical activity and the risks of doing it too soon are very real.
We cover the general timeline, what can actually happen if you rush it, why certain procedures require a longer wait, and why protecting your recovery protects your results.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why physical intimacy is treated the same as any other physical activity during recovery.
- The general timeline for resuming intimacy after plastic surgery.
- What actually happens when patients are intimate too soon after surgery and why bleeding is a real surgical risk.
- Why rushing intimacy can send you back to day zero of your recovery.
- Why certain procedures like breast augmentation and labiaplasty require a longer wait for intimacy specifically.
- Why your body will tell you when it is too soon even if you want to push through it.
- Why these are general guidelines and why your surgeon may have specific nuances for your procedure.
- Why protecting your recovery means protecting your results long term.
