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.

Depending on the procedure, there's not much reason after 48 hours to limit showering after surgery in most instances if you look at the medical literature. Some surgeons tell patients no showers until drains are out, but there's no evidence for that practice. Soaking an incision (in a tub, pool, or hot tub) is a different story and is usually prohibited for several weeks

Hello
After the procedure, if you feel comfortable in moving around a bit, take assistance from nurse and have a bath the next day of the procedure. It is absolutely safe
