Brachioplasty- how soon after can I resume sexual activity??
I am having brachioplasty on December 18th. It's the only thing I'm having done. How soon after can I resume sexual activity??? What do the surgeons say? For those of you who have had it, how soon after did you want to? Thanks!!

"May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears."
Without fail, every time either my husband or I have been hospitalized or operated upon for any reason whatsoever (including tooth extraction) my HUSBAND has managed to find a way to ask the surgeon: "How soon before we can have sex again?"
This is so absolutely delightful to hear from a man who is half-way sedated and has a mouth full of bloody gauze.
My favorite answer so far has been: "Well -- at least wait until you get home!"

if I had of only had my arms done, I could have had sex after a day or 2 (You know, wait until the sleepy drugs wear off lol)

There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them.
We waited 2 weeks -- once the drains came out. I had 4 jp's - but then my incisions came all the way down my sides, and I'm famous for seromas.
Once I had the large seromas form, I was put on strict activity limitations whi*****luded sex. I was told yesterday that I can slowly resume normal activity. I clarified - does "normal activity" mean "normal activity" IYKWIM - yes it does as long as we are not trying to set records or be athletes.
