I was cleared on being able to shower yesterday when j got my bandages removed but I'm not sure I made the most of it. I stood with my back to the shower gear so my steri strips wouldn't fervent but I was wondering what are some more effective tips for showering so early in recovery?
Answer: Tips on showering after a breast lift and augmentation. Any suggestions? After a breast lift and augmentation, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s specific postoperative care instructions. Generally, you should avoid direct water pressure on your breasts, so consider taking a gentle shower and letting water run over your body rather than directly onto the surgical site. Use mild, fragrance-free soap, and pat your breasts dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing. If your surgeon has provided any specific guidelines, be sure to follow them closely for optimal healing.
