Shower after Postauricular Incision
Your surgeon would be the best resource for specific information in regards to your case. Most incisions are "water tight" 24-48 hours after the procedure. Every practice has specific guidelines on the type of soap, shampoo, etc that is recommended post procedure. In general, a milder soap / shampoo combination is best.
If a drain was placed in the incision, your surgeon may have you wait longer to shower.

Showering after Surgery?
Your surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to postoperative instructions. He/she knows exactly what procedure was done and how you are progressing. Remember that he/she is ultimately responsible for the care; best to follow his/her advice as opposed to online consultants'.
Best wishes.
