I love going to the spa. I got once or twice a month for a full body massage. I'm 17 days post op (breast reduction) and want to know when I can do my spa days again?

Answer: Return to spa after BR surgery Best to follow your plastic surgeon's advice as he/she will be monitoring your recovery. Contact the surgeon's office for the "go-ahead" to return to the spa. Lack of cleanliness, and hot temperatures can expose you to burns if you lack sensitivity and to infection if your incisions have not healed.I would generally recommend 6 weeks before resuming exercise in an uncomplicated case. I generally ask patients to avoid public bathing options.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Spa It depends a little on whether all the wounds have healed. I would run this question past your PS as many PS would advise against Spa's until at least 6 weeks postop.
