If you are concerned about your wound, check with your plastic surgeon. Instructions for hygiene should come exclusively from him.
Every surgeon will have their own post-op instructions, so it would be best to consult your surgeon before doing something you are unsure of. Although I typically allow my patients to shower the day after surgery, I like my patients to wait 4 weeks before submerging in any body of water and when all incisions are closed. Best rule of thumb, if you are unsure, ask your surgeon before doing anything. ac
As a general rule I allow my patients to shower the day after surgery. I prefer that patients avoid a bath (I assume you want to stay submerged in water) until I have personally seen them and cleared them for bath or hot tub. So I guess the answer is wait til you can ask you PS. A physical exam is really needed to give you a definitive answer.
Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to specific advice. If in doubt, continue to avoid still water until you have communicated with your plastic surgeon. Best wishes.
In general, I allow my patients to shower on the third day after their augmentation. I prefer to avoid baths or hot tubs for 3-4 weeks.
In general, I advise my patients to wait a couple of days after surgery to shower. I prefer that patients avoid a bath (I assume you want to stay submerged in water) until I have personally seen them and cleared them for bath or hot tub. Follow up with your Plastic Surgeon for an in person exam. Best wishes!
Thank you for your question.

At three months there should be very little pain after a breast augmentation even with vigorous physical activity. This is something that you should report to your surgeon.
Nipple sensation and response to stimulus such as cold can be affected with any method employed for placement. As noted, there is big trend back to the infra-mammary fold approach as there is evidence that the rate of capsule contrcature and infections appear to be less with this approach....
Submuscular placement may be more uncomfortable the first few days following surgery. The possible benefits of submuscular placement are that it may result in less palpable implants, less capsular contracture, and it will make it easier to image the breast with mammography. The appearance may be...
In my own experience I have certainly use implants of this size and even larger in woman of larger stature. Generally speaking, larger frames will require a larger implant to have the same visional impact as a smaller implant on a smaller frame. As far as exercise goes, all bets are off because...
This is an extremely common situation. During surgery we often use "sizers" which are temporary implants inserted just to help us pick the proper implant size and shape. These are then removed and replaced with the implant(s) that have been chosen. Sometimes using different...
