Swimming after tummy tuck? 3 weeks post-op.

May 22, 2018
Asked By:alleyJ78 in Staten Island, NY

I am wondering if there is any restrictions on swimming these next few weeks of my recovery. I am aware of the sun/ sunblock concerns — but are there any restrictions with chlorine / salt water pools?? What about going in the ocean?
