When can I bathe after Smart Lipo?

May 17, 2015
Asked By:Kristensnick in Austin, TX

I had Smart Lipo 11 days ago and really want to take a bath. Taking them before bed really helps me to sleep and the compression garment has been giving me sleeping problems. I've also been on Minocycline 100mg for a month. Do I really have to wait the full two weeks? Doesn't the antibiotic help with the risk?
