For at least a month after surgery.

I suggest you call the surgeons office and ask what they feel since they have seen how your incisions are healing. They are the best judge for this. I can only go by what I was told.

Take care.

it is about the incisions being completely heal. In the bath there is the possibility of "contamination" because you are sitting in dirty water.

I waited a week after the skin adhesive tape fell off, about 3 weeks after surgery.

I have to wait six weeks. You should not submerge your incisions in dirty bath water. Trust me.
