Mopping after lift and augmentation: I am 13 days post-op.

January 24, 2018
Asked By:duir8888 in US

Augmentation only 120 cc. I’ve had very little discomfort and zero pain. At 9 days I mopped my floor very slowly, but have been told by others that I shouldn’t? Can someone advise what type of cleaning activity is acceptable?
