How long after a tummy tuck can I shower?

Asked By:Iggyserge1 in Buffalo, NY

I'm scheduled for a full tummy tuck w/muscle repair on 10/18/17 (eek!) and wondering when I can anticipate when my first post-surgery shower will be. Im trying to think back to how long I have to wait to shower with my C-sections, I want to say it was maybe two days after? I do remember that shower being hunched over and not getting my incision wet.
