Bathing

You may shower at any time after surgery. There is waterproof surgical glue or a waterproof bandage over your incisions. You do not need to cover this. In the circumstance where you have a bandage, you can continue to shower after you remove your bandage.

Please avoid baths, hot tubs, pools, or soaking in water for 2 weeks after surgery, as this can increase your risk of an infection.
