Can I Take a Shower?
Can I Take a Shower?
If you have white tape on your shoulder, you may remove the dressing and take a shower. If you have a clear dressing over your incision, you may remove it 2 days after surgery. You may allow the shoulder to get wet, but do not allow the water to hit you directly on the incisions. No immersion in the water is allowed until 21 days post op. This means no soaking in a bathtub, hot tub, whirlpool, or swimming in a pool or ocean!
