Sex after 360 lift



Recommended Posts

How long did you wait? Certain positions better than others?

I'm not sure if my opinion is relevant since I had the front half done along with my boobs and the back half done along with my thighs and an autoaugment of my butt in two different surgeries, but it's going to be a few weeks- at least 3 and only then if you're being very gentle. You literally had your top layers of skin pulled off, cut off, stretched, and re-sutured, so while cowgirl should work fine since you're controlling the bouncing and nothing is on top of you, missionary is out because you're basically pulling on your sutures and scraping your back back and forth on the bed for however long you're enjoying time with your partner. You could potentially try doggy-type positions if you're wearing your binder, however you don't want to have your stomach skin pulling away from your ab muscles because then you end up with a seroma. Basically any position where you are sliding around on the bed is not the best plan because it creates friction between your skin and your muscles in the area where your body is trying to build new connections- you're basically just repeatedly ripping apart the new adhesion.

If you're creative, you can get back at it whenever you feel like you aren't in pain, just be cognizant of the fact that while you probably aren't feeling pain, any twisting or sliding of the skin in your trunk region is going to delay healing and potentially result in a seroma. Perhaps this is a good time for you both to work on your oral sex game, lol.

I'm far from even thinking of reconstructive surgery. Please let me know if I understood my half-second research: The patient's own fat is shaped to create a perky backside? Two surgeries? Can that mean one cheek at a time? Sacre bleu!

Thanks for the info. I'm 4 weeks tomorrow from 360 lift. And 2 weeks from boob lift as dr wouldn't do together. Didn't think about pulling on skin etc. great points. Lol maybe bf will have to wait another week or two. Maybe third base can work ????

Every doc is different, but mine asked me to not engage in anything that would raise the heart rate - I don't recall the number of weeks - maybe it was 4? Then, I was very worried about scars and tugging on freshly healed skin. Finally, my lover thought I was made of glass during that recovery so... we just kissed for about the first 6 weeks post op. Once I was cleared to go to the gym, I figured I was good to go!

I had the autologous fat flap, and yes, that's what it is. They strip the skin off the fat, pull the fat down, and sew it all back. (Pretty sure it requires a lot of skill that I'm minimizing ;) )Mine worked pretty good. I do have a slightly flat area just above my thighs, but not bad. I think I would have had a flat butt if she didn't do that, so I'm happy with it.

Egads, that sounds eerily like what I do with chicken, but I cook it instead of sewing and wearing it.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad you're happy with the results.

The descriptions of all surgical procedures are too ghoulish. It's amazing that we go ahead with them rather than run away screaming. Maybe I'll wear garlic around my neck the next time I have anything done.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
