How exactly do I shower after a breast lift?

Asked By:Anonymous3526699 in Ottawa, IL

Today is the day after my unilateral breast lift an I am still in a fair bit of pain. I was told to shower 3 days after the surgery (once I take off my bandages). Se websites tell me to shower with the steri strips and some say to take it off. I personally think that I would be far too scared to wash the incisions that early as they still hurt... Would that cause infection? What kind of soap can I use? I also have dissolvable stitches, I don't know if that matters.
