| Swimming | It is best to initially avoid swimming and then limit extended exposure to water; baths, steam, saunas, pools, ocean, particularly to any suture sites, for the first couple of weeks, then up to 3 months. Suture sites are porous and susceptible to infection and will result in poor healing and bad scarring. If you are in water, ensure that it is not for extended times and dry off your suture sites completely, and make sure any bandages or tapes are not soaking wet. If they are, they will need to be changed. |
