she said to me that I could shower but not to put any shower gel or products directly onto the incisions but not to worry bout getting soap on them just don’t rub it in or around that area and to make sure that you pat the incision area dry without disturbing it too much…I had my first shower last night ..omg how hard was that…ok till I tried to wash my hair lol I have really long hair so took ages to shampoo and rinse as still not able to lift my arms up totally..feel better for it though..x
