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

Thanks for your question and photos. From what I can see, the incisions are healed and closed and you will be fine to go in a pool, but I would recommend visiting your surgeon to make sure. I tell my patients 6-8 weeks later, but the time frame varies for every patient.All the best,Dr. JSB

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
