Question

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.
  
I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.
  
For my patients, I recommend they keep their incisions clean, dry and intact.
The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.
  
Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.
  
Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  Sweating shouldn't cause you any problems, but I would try and keep the incisions as clean and dry as possible.  If you feel there is excessive moisture where your incision is then you can keep a dry gauze there.  Best of luck to you!
