Shampoo and hot shower after breast augmentation?

You should always follow any specific post-op guidelines your plastic surgeon suggests. That said, at this stage in the recovery process, you should have no issues with using shampoo and enjoying a hot shower as normal, particularly if your scars appear to be healing well. If you are in any doubt as to how well you are healing or how to proceed with any aspect of aftercare, you should contact your plastic surgeon and defer to their recommendations.

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!

At this point in time, you should be able to shower normally with hot water, however, I recommend that you get the final OK from your surgeon, as he or she is best qualified to give you your postop instructions. Good luck!

If all is healed in then shampoo and hot water should be fine 2 weeks after breast augmentation.

Thank you for your question.

Shampoo and a hot shower should not be an issue two weeks post-op. If you are concerned about it, call your surgeon's office and ask him or one of his medical staff members.

Best of Luck,
