When can I shave my armpits after breast augmentation with incision in armpit?

Every surgeon has different rules.  I would wait at least 2 weeks. I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

As you can see from the various answers given by excellent plastic surgeons, there is no one right answer.In my practice, the interrupted sutures come out in three days.  The next layer of sutures come out in five days.  My patients are able to shave their armpits and begin using deodorant on the 7th post operative day.Obviously, each plastic surgeon has his or her own paradyme for post operative armpit shaving and use of deodorants.  I strongly suggest you follow your own plastic surgeon's advice on this subject.

Timing of shaving your armpits after an axillary breast augmentation is best answered by your surgeon.  I would avoid the incision for a few weeks but if you're careful you can shave the surrounding area after a week.
