    Hey, I was told strictly not to swim for the first three months as it is a lot of upper body movement and uses your chest muscles. But I did have unders, may be different for overs if that’s what you have

    No you can’t swim yet!like amy says swimming involves a lot of upper body movement!and there are lots of chemicals in pools which I’m guessing won’t help ur scar healing very much!xxx

    Yes it’s 6 weeks due to the high infection risk – people’s wee + wounds that are not fully healed = YUK!
