My wounds were sealed with surgical glue and steristrips. No restrictions on bathing/showering. No special care. Let the steristrips fall off on their own.

    I had a drain to empty the first 3 days. Just once or twice/day....No big deal there. I was allowed to shower day after surgery but was told to hold off on complete submersion in baths or hot tubs for two weeks. Really no care needed for the incisions. Steristrips and glue came off on their own in 7-10 days.
