You can shower the next day after your surgery. You are waterproof because Dr. Jacobsen
uses medical glue called "DermaBond" on your incisions. You cannot go into a bathtub or
a Jacuzzi however for approximately 10 days but you can freely take a shower and pat
yourself dry the day after your surgery. The brown flesh, colored Steri-Strips are glued
with DermaBond directly over your incisions and will stay on for sometimes two to three
weeks. The longer they stay on the better. They protect your incision from stretch and
give a very nice fine line in our patients. You will like the fact that your incision is
well protected while they are healing and sensitive.
