How long after BA can I wax my underarms?

supernova91
I had BA 11 days ago under the muscle and incision was made on the bottom crease. 425 cc silicone. Today I decided to wax my underarms since it was a little embarrassing having all that hair under there! I didn't lift my arms all the way maybe just half way up. I called my surgeon right after to ask if it was okay because I experienced pain and discomfort doing so. He freaked on me stated I wasn't suppose to wax.Because it can cause infection. I'm still trying to understand why?also had a facial
