It depends: As a former president once said, "it depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is." if you're just getting a little frisky, you're probably ok now but for penetration, you need to wait until you can't disrupt suture lines which is usually after six weeks. To be safe, ask your surgeon when s/he thinks it's ok!

Check with surgeon: Everyone heals differently, and depending on the specific conditions of your surgical case, the answer to your question would be best answered by your surgeon. Generally speaking, 3 weeks post-op, if you are fully healed and feel fine, the surgeon will most likely clear you back to normal activity, including sex. Best wishes.
