When can I wash my own hair after brachioplasty?

hendb
Today is my 18 days post of an arm lift (liposuction and brachioplasty) had the stitches done in my underarm. The swelling has gone down and I was able to sleep on my sides. I was just wondering when is it safe to wash my own hair in the shower. And when will I be able to move my arms over my head.
