How long do I need to wait to takes bath after a tummy tuck? I'm 5.5 weeks post tummy tuck... Incisions posed and healing nicely!
Answer: At this point, a bath should be fine After tummy tuck surgery, I advise the patients to take two weeks off from work. The patients may return to work, but may not engage in any strenuous activity. By 5.5 weeks it should be no problem to take a bath. At two months, the patients start low impact cardio. At three months they can engage in more strenuous physical activity. If anything hurts or causes swelling, we ask them to back off somewhat.

Answer: Bathing Do ask your surgeon when you may starting bathing or swimming. For most of my patients, bathing usually can start around 4 weeks, and swimming at 6. You want to make sure all your incisions are completely closed--no scabs and leaking.

Answer: Bath after tummy tuck Congratulations on your surgery! Usually once all of your incisions are completely closed and your drains are removed you can safely take a bath. Every surgeon has her own protocol with this type of situation though, so it is best to first check with yours.
