Ask your surgeon!: Your surgeon is the best person to ask regarding what to do when post-operatively. Don't forget to ask about what not to do and what (signs of) complications to look for, eg bleeding, infection, etc. Also make sure you understand what you'll look like initially post-op so you won't be frightened post-op if you notice tremendous swelling.

Usually 6-8 weeks: Having performed hundreds of procedures, the timing will vary from one individual to another with most patients feeling comfortable around 8 weeks. However, patients have resumed sexual relations (gentle) as early as 2-3 weeks after surgery. The issue is related to wound healing and when the incisions can tolerate shear/stress forces of intercourse presuming that is what you by sex (and not oral).

When U R Well!: I doubt that is the answer you really want. You can have sex when you are healed. When will that be? Ask your surgeon, he should know how long it will take. Good luck!

Ask your doctor: I release patients to activity individually after I do their operations. I examine their surgical sites at follow=up appointments and tell them when they look ready. On average it is 4-6 weeks afterward. This will vary with technique and how the woman heals afterward of course. http://www.cosmeticsurgerytruth.com/blog/?p=12539.
