When Can I Take a Bath?!

[ranece 62]

I'm not a shower person I love taking baths. It's relaxing for me. I'm three weeks post op forgot to ask my surgeon. Do anyone know?

For at least a month after surgery.

I suggest you call the surgeons office and ask what they feel since they have seen how your incisions are healing. They are the best judge for this. I can only go by what I was told.

Take care.

it is about the incisions being completely heal. In the bath there is the possibility of "contamination" because you are sitting in dirty Water.< /p>

I waited a week after the skin adhesive tape fell off, about 3 weeks after surgery.

I have to wait six weeks. You should not submerge your incisions in dirty bath Water. Trust me.

I get the gist of your question, but I have to be a silly about it, and reply "I'll take a bath as soon as I can fit in the tub (and get out without calling for assistance!"
