When can I take bath after explant and lift?

This question is best answered by your surgeon as she/he is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery. In general I advise my patients that it is okay to take a bath, swim in a pool, or go in the ocean six weeks after surgery with normal healing.

Thank you for your question.  In my practice I allow my patients to shower the day of the procedure and to soak in a tub at three weeks.  Please discuss this with your surgeon.  Good luck.

As long as you have no wound healing problems a bath at 4 weeks is fine.  Do realize if you soak in a very warm tub for a long time you may notice some temporary increased swelling and the incisions may look a little macerated (moist).  So not too hot and not too long.  Jane

Most patients will be able to take a bath at 4 weeks, however, please check with your surgeon first. Your surgeon can check your incisions and see if you can progress to a bath.

Congratulations on having undergone the explantation/lift operations. You will be best off running this question by your plastic surgeon who knows how you are progressing, whether or not you are experiencing any type of complication, and is ultimately responsible for your care.  Advice you have received online may not be relevant. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with long-term.
