Thank you for your question. Typically, after any procedures we advise our patients to avoid submerging their incisions in water until at least 4-6 weeks post surgery. As each surgeon has their own set of post op instructions, you may wish to discuss this with your surgeon to ensure you achieve your best results.Best regards,Dr. Lane F. Smith, MDPlastic SurgeonLas Vegas, NV
I would refer to your plastic surgeon but I typically tell my patients at the 6 week mark they are able to go into a hot tub as long as they have had no healing issues. Going into a hot tub too early can cause an infection and delay healing.
