How to take care of personal hygiene after tummy tuck and liposuction?

Your plastic surgeon should be able to give you instructions on how to take care of your incisions after surgery.  I allow my patients to remove their compression garments to shower, but every plastic surgeon is different and you should contact his/her office for specific instructions.  Good luck. 

You will be wearing this garment 24/7, it is important to prevent infection, and hygiene plays an important role in this.  You can call and ask your Dr.s office if the garment will have a snap or open crotch, most of them do.  I would also ask if you can order a second garment so you can clean one while wearing the other. You may have to pay for the second garment.  Also, as far as using the restroom , they will advise you on the best techniques for bathroom issues, depending on what garment you will be in.  I have advised patients to buy flushable personal wipes, some have gone and gotten a female urinal at camping stores, etc.  The best way to be informed is to call his or her nurse and get as much information regarding the garments and post op care.
