How long do you have to avoid showering after BA operation please ? Thank you in advance for any replays x
A week Hun for most, some nurses say 2 x
Hey Hun I had to wait 9 days it really depends on how your incisions are healing if they are fully closed then you will be allowed if they are not then you will be told to wait xx
Yes Hun you can you just can’t get any of your strapping wet incase it causes infection you also might find it easier to either just have a wash at the basin or if you have a detachable shower head use that and to wash from the belly down x
I waited until I had my post op appointment a week after I had surgery and the nurse told me that i could have a full shower as she had took off all the strapping. I did have a few shallow baths but just be very careful babe 🙂 xx
I will be extra careful, just the thought of having no shower is niggling at me xx
I am desperate to have a shower lol. I had my one week post-op appointment last week and was told I had to come back again next week for the dressings to be changed and that I can’t take a shower till then : – ((
Sugarbabe100 they gave me waterproof dressings so I could shower – i had exact same as u but on the tuesday. I wanted to kiss the girl when she said I could shower haha x
Ok I will definitely ask about that as I am so desperate to have a shower now, even dreaming about it lol x
Once you’ve had your 1 week check up and are told you are healing well then you should be fine. Before that I used to wash my top half in the sink and have a shallow bath for my bottom half but with my bra on so the strips didn’t get damp and then get out and wash my hair over the bath. Bit of a rigmarole but it worked lol x
I’m 2 weeks post op from a BA and nipple lift and I still ain’t allowed a shower haha..I’m demented I feel like a scruff!! Having a shallow bath just isn’t the same x
