How soon can I remove dressing on inverted nipple? (photos)

August 4, 2016
Asked By:Facingmyfears in Ireland, IE

I had BA and inverted nipple corrected I'm 2 days post op and I really would love a shower, I'm afraid as I don't know what's under the dressing would it be ok if it got wet and dressing was to fall of. I rang surgery and they said to have a shower but I'm so worried as I still feel I wasn't clear enough of my concern about the dressing .
