6 weeks post op. Can I swim in a pool? (Photo)

In my opinion, you should
be just fine to go swimming at this point in your recovery. However, I would
double-check with your surgeon just in case, as he is the only one who knows the full details of your surgery and recovery. Best regards.

In my own practice as soon as the incisions are healed patients are permitted to immerse themselves in water including a pool. Formal swimming, however, would not be permitted for three or four weeks

Hi,Thanks for your question. It is best to follow your Plastic Surgeon's advise as each surgeon has their own recommended post surgical plan. I generally allow swimming after one month, provided that incisions are well-healed and this may require an in-office visit for assessment.All the best
