CLEANING INDICATIONS

The bath and toilet of the wound should be daily. In the morning, it will be your first bath, when removing the bandages or bra you must do it with Carefully and slowly, some patients' blood pressure drops during this time and they may feel dizzy. If this happens, it will be temporary and will only last a few minutes. If you see the bandages or bra stained with a little blood, it is normal. Remember that the water should not be extremely hot, because then your pressure can drop and cause you to faint. Already in the shower you can use common soap or neutral soap, to wash either the holes or the wound. Soap and water is applied on top of the tape. So the tapes do not need to be removed. rather, they will be removed by the Ensthetics staff at one of the follow-up appointments. You do not have to carve very hard, as long as it is clean on the surface it will be enough. It is possible that after the bath, a little fluid continues to come out of the wound, this may be normal. We give you a spray, apply that spray on the wound so that the area is clean. Once the spray has been applied, we recommend you put some clean and new gauze in the wound area and on top of that your bra.

The girdle or bra must be worn day and night for the next 8 weeks. Once put on you can do more daily tasks. At first it will be uncomfortable, but after a few days your body will get used to wearing it and, on the contrary, you will feel more comfortable wearing it. It will be necessary to wash your bra, when you do it you can rest for a few minutes without a girdle or put a "sports top" while your bra is being washed and dried, then you will need to wear it again throughout the day.
