Hey, u have to sleep propped up for a week I think then u can lie flat but not on ur side. And u can shower after a week too, I had my steri strips off after a week and was told I coud shower but only used johnsons baby bath and not to rub the scars just let the water n baby bath run down from a sponge. After u come out the shower pat ur boobs dry dnt rub. Hope this helps xx

perfect, thanks for that. how long do u have to lie on ur back for? x

Hi Sara

I slept propped up for the first 7 nights, then had 1 night flat on my back, then was able to sleep on my sides by night 9, but had to be very careful when turning. I think you can expect to lie on your back for up to 2 weeks though, and check with your surgeon just in case (not sure if advice varies depending on personal circumstances). My surgeon allowed me to shower the next day. He just said to not get soap near where the incisions were made. You also have to be careful when drying, just ‘dab’ the area with a towel rather than rub!

Hope this helps!

Good luck!

thank you girls x

Hey hun I had Dr Adamo and could shower straight after my op he put waterproof plasters over my stitches and said it was ok to get them wet x
