How long do I have to wait after a breast augmentation to submerge myself in sea water?

Asked By:Dani2511

Had surgery 9/19 and I was wondering if I could just sit in the ocean, no swimming and I will wear a long sleeve "surf" type shirt so I don't burn. I've heard that the ocean helps heal wounds, might just be an old wives tale :) Thanks
