After operation shower

Hi guys, I’m 3 days post op and I was wondering how did everyone find the post op shower? As we aren’t allowed to get the boobs wet how did everyone go about it?

Very shallow bath and dry shampoo untill someone can wash your hair for you lent over a bath, then just use a wet flannel for your arms and neck etc. Its a pain but feels amazing when you can finally shower after 1 or 2 weeks depending which stitches you have xx

I love my showers so I definitely found this the hardest part of recovery! Plus I found lowering myself into the bath and pulling myself back up quite hard on my arms! So I found the best way was to take the shower head off the holder and used it to wash myself by holding it, then used a flannel to wash the upper part of my body. It obviously wasnt as good as a proper shower but it did make me feel clean and fresh, I personally found it a lot more satisfying then a bath! Your first proper shower will feel like heaven! Xx
