Would I clean my tummy tuck/ breast incision with a alcohol pad or some peroxide ? Add some Neosporin or antibiotic ointment? Or just leave dry before taping again ?

Answer: Wound Care after Mommy Makeover Surgery Gonzalezz 3. Another question for your surgeon, but after 2 days, if there are no openings within your incisions, mild soap and water is all you should need. Antibiotic ointment for any areas that are superficially open. Give your surgeon a call to confirm all postop instructions. Good luck!

Answer: Cleaning Incisions Congratulations! It is best to ask your own plastic surgeon what he/she prefers, as we all have different preferences after surgery. In my opinion, alcohol is too drying, peroxide kills both the bad and good bacteria (not ideal), and neosporin causes a lot of people to develop a rash! The post-op care will depend on how your plastic surgeon closed the wound - invisible stitches? stitches on the skin? skin glue? steri-strips? ...Best to call your surgeon's office to ask.
