How long should I wait to take a bath, recovery after a breast reduction?

Hello and thank you for your question,
It is best to give your incisions adequate time to heal before submerging them in water. This is typically at least 3 weeks or 1 week after the sutures have been removed. If there appears to be any slow healing its best to keep the incisions out of the water until things are healed. It is always best to check with your surgeons recommendation before doing anything. 

I do not allow patients to take a bath after surgery. Showering is ok usually a few days after surgery but some will wait until the drains are removed.
