(15 days post op)
As you have read from the multiple responses from other Plastic Surgeons, bathing protocols vary greatly from surgeon to surgeon. Discussing this issue with your surgeon would be best. At 15 days post-op, most surgeons would have you showering after breast augmentation and likely also allow you to submerge(bath, swimming pool, ocean) at this point in time also. However, this question is best directed towards your surgeon and/or his nursing staff.
Thank you for your question. It is always best to direct any questions related to your recovery experience to your operating surgeon as every surgeon has their own unique set of post operative instructions for their patients. In our practice we advise our patients to not submerge the incisions in water or take long showers for a minimum of two weeks after surgery.With kind regards,Lane F.
