I had my surgery on January the eighth and it is now the twenty first. My Surgeon said to cover all incisions with vaseline and gauze and I’ve been doing that every night after I shower since surgery, but he didn’t say for how long to do it for. I am having no drainage but I’m wondering if it’s okay to stop the dressings now? Or should I keep doing it to keep everything moist. He said the Vaseline would aid the scars.
