When is the best time to have a shower after Smart Lipo ?

I close the small incisions with a suture so my patients may shower the next morning. However, they can't take baths or swim where the incisions are submerged for a few weeks until the incisions are fully closed.

You can shower the next day after smart lipo or any other lipo procedure. Be careful not to use hot water or prolonged showers. Use quick showers with warm water instead. This well keep the blood vessels in the treated areas from swelling too much which would provoke additional swelling and discomfort afterwards.

Different doctors will give you different answers based on their own preferences. In general, I recommend that your first  shower happens three days after surgery. Please contact your plastic surgeon for specific answers. #LiposuctionShower

Different doctors may have different recommendations for their patients but, generally speaking, having a shower one day after lipo is OK.Please contact your doctor for specific advice - hopefully you got this info prior to your procedure.

All my patients shower within 24 hours and then see me in the office.  There is no need to wait more then a day. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi there. That's a good question. Routinely I advise my patients to begin showers the day after their procedure. A topical ointment is then applied judiciously to the wound 3-5 times per day. Shower...go for it and enjoy.
