Hi Lizzaa85, Thank you for your question, I hope your recovery has been comfortable.Usually, all normal activity, including underarm waxing, is advised after 6 weeks however, I would encourage you to ask your surgeon first.All the best.

Sam Speron, MD, FACS · Answer

I advise you to speak with your surgeon about the progress of your healing and the prudence of waxing at this time.  He/She will know best because every situation and every person is different. Please make sure you are always consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Thank you for your question, best wishes for your healing process, and good luck with the waxing.

Jeff Angobaldo, MD · Answer

Thank you for your questions. If you have healed well from your surgery after 5 weeks you should be fine.  Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon and follow his/her recommendations.

Gary L. Ross, MBChB, FRCS · Answer

Best to run this by your PS. If the wound have healed and then waxing is not an issue - Usually after 6 weeks if everything progressing appropriately waxing should not be an issue.

Lynn D. Derby, MD (retired) · Answer

Most patients can wax at 6 weeks after surgery, but some people heal faster and some slower.  Check with your plastic surgeon to find out whether you are healed enough yet.
