After the Himplant procedure, it's crucial to follow your surgeon's guidance about when you can resume certain activities, including showering. Typically, you're permitted to shower once your Jackson-Pratt (JP) drain has been removed, but the timing can differ depending on your unique situation and the surgeon's instructions.
Submerging yourself in a hot tub, Jacuzzi, sauna (whether wet or dry), whirlpool bath, or any body of water is typically prohibited until you've received explicit clearance from the medical team. This approval usually comes around six to eight weeks post-procedure. It's essential to adhere to these guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery process.
