maybe a silly post op question but can i have a bath now? help….

This may be a silly question but i’m not sure if i can have a ‘proper’ bath now. I’m 3 weeks and 5 days post op. Nurse is happy with my scars and said I can shower- which ive obviously been doing but being careful not to touch my scars. I really want a proper full bath rather than a shallow one – will that be ok? Or is it best not to soak my scars? Will it be ok to soak in the bath but not dip my scars in? Post op girls please help.

I had a bath after 1 week hun x x

Ur meant to wait 6wks hun..u cud go for a shallow one n not put scars in,i wudnt risk an infection x

thanks, i think i will wait, dont want to take any chances x

Please call your nurse bellebo!

Thanks very much

MYA x
