When can you shower after lipo and full tummy tuck?

The answer to this depends on your surgeon. I personally
encourage patients to shower either the day of or the following day after their
procedure. I feel it is safe and appropriate to shower even with drains in
place. However do follow your particular surgeons suggestions.

I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol for showering after your procedure. It's usually a few days. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding lymphatic massage and hyperbaric oxygen along with your compression to reduce swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the appearance of cellulite. Best, Dr. Emer

I prefer to have my patients wait at least three days before showering so that the incisions have an opportunity to heal.
