Million Dollar Shower

After having breast augmentation you typically have to wait about four days before showering.  So the person I talked about being there to help you..... you might also want to know them really well......  A new love interest probably wouldn't be a good idea....lol!  Taking your first shower is very challenging as your breasts are still very sore and it's difficult to lift your arms over your head.  I would also recommend letting your hair air dry.  I got a little to excited about being able to make myself look decent after laying around for so long and really tired myself out.  After that shower and blow dry I was ready to be back on my couch resting and ended up having to take more pain meds because of over doing it.  But I have to say, that was the best shower of my life!!!  Something that I wasn't sure of and had to call the nurse about before I showered was "Am I able to get the breast area wet as well as where the tape is"?  The answer is "yes".  You will most likely have dissolvable stitches with medical tape over them which is perfectly fine to get wet.  As I said earlier, your breasts will still be pretty sensitive so I would put the water flow on a very soft setting if you have that available.

About to take my first shower after four days!  What a relief to take off that awesome fanny pack and medicine tubes.
