Sex After Plastic Surgery

One of the first things that most patients want to know, but are afraid to ask, “When can I have sex?” The answer is going to vary, depending on your procedure and your healing process. Just like exercise, sexual activities increases heart rate. This raises your blood pressure, causing your blood to flow more intensely, which can increase swelling and cause bleeding (Hematoma). Suggested guidelines are:

Breast Augmentation: 2 weeks
Lipo: 2 weeks
Abdominoplasty ( Tummy Tuck ): 3 weeks
Labiaplasty: 2 weeks

Just like with any other surgical procedure, follow common sense and your post op instructions. Keep your incision site clean and covered. Do not expose them to bacteria that can be found in bodily fluids. Remember your body is still healing, so please be gentle with it.

4. Try on different types of clothes and add and remove rice by ¼ cup of rice at a time until you reach the desired size.

5. When you have done this untie the end of the pantyhose and pour the rice into a measuring cup and measure the ml’s or cc’s marked on the side of the cup. Write down the amount of rice you liked and put it back in the nylon and tie it the same way.

Abdominoplasty ( Tummy Tuck ) FAQ

Abdominoplasty ( Tummy Tuck ) FAQ

The fee that is quoted for this procedure at our office includes:
medication, garments, labs (unless special tests or a medical
clearance is required).


1. Who is a good canidate for the tummy tuck?
People with loose skin from pregnancies, major weight loss will
probably need an abdominoplasty rather than just liposuction.

2. How long is the surgery?
Surgery can take from 3 to 4 hours depending on the size of the
patient and if they want to include liposuction to the hips or other areas.

3. How long is the recovery? When can I go back to work?
Patients will usually be off work for 2 weeks if they do stationary office type work.
You can return to all activities 6 weeks from surgery.

4. Can you bill my insurance?
INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER THIS TYPE OF SURGERY.

5. Will I have any drains?
Patients will have 2 drains for 4 to 14 days post op.

6. How long will I be in a binder?
You will be wearing a binder for about 1 month post op then you can go to a girdle.
Wear the girdle for another month.

7. How often do I have to be seen post op?
First op appointments are 2-3 days after surgery and again at about
1week, then 2 weeks, and will be decided accordingly after that.

8. What kind of pain medication is used for this surgery?
We will provide you with Vicodin for your pain medication.

10. When can I expect to see results?
The abdominoplasty is probably the most satisfying procedures done.
You can see the results the first time the dressings are removed.

11. Can I have kids after having a tummy tuck?
It is possible to have children after this surgery is done.
We recommend having the procedure done when you are done with having kids.
Some people will not need anything corrected but some WILL need some kind of revision done.
12. What kind of sutures do you use? I'm worried about the scars.
Dr. Aiello does not place any sutures in the skin. They are all done internal and that makes a much better scar after the scar has matured.
