Embarassed. When can i wipe?

Question

I had a mommy makeover almost 2 weeks ago, my mom has been helping me with wiping my butt, and i still cant reach my butt to wipe. When should i be able to wipe on my own? What can i do to help with my streaching and leaning to be able to wipe on my own?

Thomas Fiala, MD, FACS, FRCSC · Answer

Hi.  You should be able to do this.  If leaning forward when standing is too difficult, try wiping while sitting on the toilet, just leaning a little to the side.

Thank you for your question.You may be being too cautious with your movements.  You should be able to take care of these issues without problem.If you are feeling discomfort (that is out of the ordinary), please consult with your surgeon.Best wishes.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

I understand your embarrassment. What I don't understand is why you can't perform the function yourself. I would bring this up to your plastic surgeon to see if he can help you figure out a way to take care of yourself.

Payman Danielpour, MD, FACS · Answer

At this point there should be no problem although might be difficult for you to perform activities of daily living. I reassure you that by doing these movements you are not going to hurt or ruin anything.

Henry Mentz, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for your question.You should be able to do those things on your own. If you experience any severe pain or complications, then please contact your surgeon asap.
