Can I shower with stitches?

I allow my patient's to remove their dressings and shower 2 days after their surgery, I give them detailed instructions for their suture care. However, each surgeon has their own post operative instructions, it is best for you to follow what your surgeon advises. Good luck.

Each surgeon will have their own protocol.  I tend to use absorbable sutures that don't need to be removed when I do breast augmentation surgery and the incisions are also treated with a skin glue covering the surgical site.  Therefore, I allow my patients to shower much earlier than it appears some other surgeons.  I have also been refining my technique over the past several years and at Wirth Plastic Surgery be off for a "24-hour breast augmentation recovery plan".  For more information please visit our website. wirthplasticsurgery.com
