Question

How many showers should one take per day in order to keep your body clean and avoid infections? Thank you.

Ozge Ergun, MD · Answer

Thanks for the question. After a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery you can take a shower after 2 days. Then after this 2 days, you can take a shower once a days. I wish you all the best.

One shower per day should be plenty,consult with your PS for further instructions every surgeon has different post op care for his or her patients.

Juan Carlos Fuentes, MD · Answer

I agree with the previous comments, one shower a day will be enough, check with your surgeon, he can give you the best advice.

Austin Hayes, MD · Answer

Congratulations on your procedure. I would ask your surgeon this specific question, but in my office I recommend that my patients shower once daily. Some doctors will also give their patients a short course of oral antibiotics after surgery. However, this varies doctor to doctor.

Hello Dear,
 Thank you for your question.
Showering once everyday should be enough, however its always good to verify with your PS for any additional steps in regards to your post BBL process.
Best regards :)

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

I recommend showering once a day. Consult your surgeon since each surgeon has a slightly different post op protocol.

Nicholas A. Flugstad, MD · Answer

One shower per day is enough to keep most people clean and hygienic after surgery. I always have my patients shower with a medical grade soap the day before surgery. After surgery, I allow my patients to gently wash all areas with soapy water. Showering may not change your risk of infections, but it probably helps.

M. Jude LaBarbera, MD · Answer

I recommend patients wait until the second day after surgery to shower, then I request they shower daily from that point forward.  No soaking (no bathtub, swimming pool, etc) for at least 2 weeks.  Please check with your plastic surgeon for his/her recommendation.

Brian Kubiak, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question on showering after your BBL surgery.  I advise my patients to begin showering 48 hours after their surgery.  I advise them to allow the soap and water to run over their incisions but they should avoid rubbing them.  They also should dry fully before putting their compressive garments back on.  One shower a day is adequate.  Make sure to watch your incisions closely and call your surgeon if you experience redness, warmth, increased drainage, or increased pain not controlled by your pain medications.  These could suggest infection.

I normally recommend 1 shower per day following a BBL., and this after the first 3 days. You do not need more washing. You should keep your garment clean and wash or change them as needed.
