I have my patients shower after the first postoperative visit which is the day after surgery. I have tried multiple approaches, and have found that waiting to allow the patients to shower results in more infections.
The flexibility will return over a period of months to years. The tightness is the result of reconstructing the muscular corset. It is much too early to be doing stretches.
