I had my lap on the 20th and had my first bath yesterday quite a quick ish one but was so nice and scars look fine and healing mine appear to be completely just glued if that's possible?? as had no dressings at all and haven't seen and still can't see any stitches and the 3 little wounds definitely covered with a glue to protect them. That starting to peel off now too
Hi they say not to have a bath because you in still water that you are washing with which could cause infection. I'd leave it for a few more days to be on the safe side.
Hi, I had a bath a week after my surgery and I stayed in it for hours. It was a bubble bath too. I'm not advocating it necessarily (I'd listen to medical advice over me!) but I was told to wait only a week. It helped me no end, I hope you enjoy one when you do take the plunge! x
