How long after tummy tuck can you take a bath?

Thanks for the question. After a tummy tuck surgery you can take a shower after 48 hours. I wish you all the best.

Hello dear, thanks for your question, After a tummy tuck procedure, you have to wait until your doctor removes your drainage, then you should follow up her/his recommendation about when, after the drain comes out, you can do it, every surgeon has their standars and ways to do different process

I recommend all of my patients to take a shower 48 hours after surgery, even with the drain in place.  I leave the steri-strips on for 2 weeks, and then remove.  However, always follow your plastic surgeon's protocol for their post operative instructions.  It is always good to keep a surgical incision clean, and dry.  I hope this helped.  Best wishes
