I feel so yuck. Its been over 48 hours and I really need to shower, but how come I have to wait 72 hours? I did a lift and Lipo. I have a pain ball in both my breasts and It's slowly emptying out.. maybe thats why?

Answer: Showering postop Incisions take roughly 48 hrs to reepithelialize, i.e, skin to seal and waiting at least this amount of time avoids exposing the wounds to any bacteria that could cause an infection. Every surgeon has different recommendations for this depending on experience, etc.

Answer: Waiting to shower after surgery Every surgeon has their own idea about when is the best time to resume showering after surgery. i don't like my patients to shower while there are any tubes or drains in. I thnk that tis might allow a way for an infection to develop.
