jonsmom 0 Posted June 14, 2008 My doctor told me I could go swimming one week after my sutures were removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunabeane 2 Posted June 14, 2008 My Dr. told me 10 days or whenever the dermabond had peeled off. I didn't have any external sutures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NY2LAGirl 0 Posted June 15, 2008 my doctor said no pool spa or bath for 3 weeks but I went in after 2 when everything was healed up and closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grlwunderkas 1 Posted June 16, 2008 My doctor didn't actually give me a time frame, but I used my judgement and didn't get in the pool for two weeks after my surgery - actually, mine was timed just right because I had my surgery May 12th, and the pool didn't open until May 26th - and that was the first time I got in.

lstew452 0 Posted July 4, 2011 If I have an incest that was infected and closed, but still some redness around incest. When I can go in the pool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurse535 30 Posted July 7, 2011 The PA at my surgeon's office recommended 3 weeks. The incisions should be closed to avoid infection...I'll be 3 wks post-op tomorrow and my incisions appear to be completely healed at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
