How do I clean my Tummy Tuck incision? (photo)

Thank for your question!Wash your hands prior to touching your incisions. Use a liquid antibiotic soap. Dry it with a soft towel. Apply a triple antibiotic ointment.Don't use bar soap or sponges. Don't use hydrogen peroxide or plastic band aids on your wound.If you have more concerns, ask them to your plastic surgeon. He/she will be able to tell you differents products to clean the incision and how to do it.Have a nice day!

I would suggest that you use regular soap and water.  I would not use alcohol or antibiotic ointment.

If you were my patient I would have you stop using ointment unless there is an open wound that needs to be taken care of. If all of the incisions are closed as they appear to be I would only have you shower like normal and use soap and water. Nothing else is necessary. Now sometimes you will have some mild drainage for a few weeks and I would suggest some gauze pads to absorb that. I would also have my patient in a surgical binder for at least 6 weeks to help with shape. At the end of the day you should do what your surgeon wants, but it sounds like you are not clear on that so maybe call and ask what you should be doing now that you are several weeks out. Some surgeons have their patients use silicone sheets on the scars at this point. It just depends on your surgeon.
