Can i go into a natural Spring 2 weeks after Breast Augmentation surgery without getting an infection? It wouldn't be salt water, it would be natural fresh water, and what if i was to be tipped over in my tube and go in completely. Should i be worried?
Answer: Can I Be Immersed in Water 2 Weeks After Breast Augmentation? Thank you for the question.Your plastic surgeon will be in the best position to guide you in regards to activity resumption after breast augmentation surgery. From the healing standpoint most patients are able to swim again starting 3 to 6 weeks after surgery. Best wishes.

Answer: Water immersion 2 weeks post op. Running soap and water over an incision is usually a good thing. Soaking or submerging an incision before it is epithelized is usually not. Please ask your plastic surgeon, as many have differing opinions about this. Also, he/she may have an opinion based on your individual case.

Answer: Ask Your Surgeon, But It Should Be Okay Depending On Your Recovery At two weeks after your surgery, you should be okay to go underwater. However, this is only if your surgeon says it's okay and your recovery has been going well. Please ask your surgeon for their advice. Regardles, however, please make sure you cover up your incisions from sun exposure, as not doing so can make your scars much more noticeable.

Answer: Can I be immersed in water 2 weeks after breast augmentation? Hello! Thank you for your question! On average, a period of approximately 3-4 weeks on average is typical. Submerging in stagnant water, be it bathtubs, jacuzzis, pools, lakes, oceans, etc. can certainly increase your chance for infections. I usually await the incisions to be fully healed prior to allowing for this type of activity. If you do have any wound issues or delayed healing, expect that you will be restricted from doing such things. However, I allow my patients to shower and clean incisions at 3 days postoperative. Regardless, the answer will vary amongst plastic surgeons and you should discuss this with your surgeon and follow his/her instructions. Best wishes!
