After the procedure, your surgeon will provide specific instructions tailored to your individual case. Generally, you can expect to be able to shower or bathe within the first few days after surgery. However, it is crucial to follow your surgeon’s guidelines regarding wound care and hygiene to ensure optimal healing. They may recommend avoiding direct water contact on the incision sites for a specified period and provide instructions on how to gently clean the treated area. It’s important to be gentle and avoid scrubbing or using harsh soaps on the incisions. By following your surgeon’s instructions, you can ensure proper hygiene while promoting a smooth recovery.
