How long does it take to shower after minimally invasive breast surgery?

In clinical practice, patients can take a shower only about 10 days after minimally invasive breast surgery, and only on the basis of good wound healing. It should be noted that the stitches should be removed intermittently on the seventh day after minimally invasive breast surgery, and the incision stitches can be removed on the tenth day after surgery, and the patient can take a shower at that time. However, in a very small number of patients, the incision may not heal well after minimally invasive breast surgery, and may even show signs of pus and infection. Therefore, the wound should be carefully observed during each dressing change, and if there is pus or increased exudate in the wound, the sutures should be removed in a timely manner, followed by thorough drainage to promote wound healing and strengthen the dressing change. Note that the patient must be treated with antibiotics and anti-infection so that wound healing can be accelerated. After minimally invasive breast surgery, it is also important to strengthen the protection of the incision so that the patient can recover healthily.
