Protecting your incisions in the shower after surgery.

After surgery, your incisions need time to heal without getting wet. It is really unpleasant not to be able to shower for a week or more. Recovery from surgery is much faster when you feel better, and showering is a big help.
This video demonstrates a way to cover your bandages and incisions after surgery so you can shower without getting them wet. I have my patients do this, and they feel great much sooner. It's easy and really inexpensive.
Discover some of the simple procedures that can be done to improve your appearance.

I couldn't get this product when I needed it but appreciate your great idea! Saving your video to help others. :)

[@monicavalverde1916]

Thank you!!!!! This is a great idea

[@dolmiiremeliik1557]

Thank you!

[@user-iu3ns7xu9f]

Brilliant! Will do a trial run before surgery to make sure I have it right!

[@nasreensarah]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@staciesliwoski3444]

This worked so well but I did have an issue the first time with the tape puckering and some water got in. So I used that elastic athletic tape (KT tape) to seal off the puckers and it worked like a charm. For anyone else trying this technique I suggest the above for added security. Also when you dry off you will want to dry off the plastic before removing it. I just used scissors to cut it off. Thanks again for the great tip. Made my recovery more comfortable.

[@LuxePlasticSurgeryMalikKuttyMD]

Good idea! I’ll share that with patients. I couldn’t find a version of this stuff with wider tape.

[@ashadsajid9236]

Would anyone suggest a proper name, of this tape I don't find it on Or please share the link of online purchase please I need bath 😢😅 now my limit exceeded

[@db_auto_photography4539]

Very helpful since I had an operation on my cheek

[@w.d.6608]

Thank you for the advice.

[@LuxePlasticSurgeryMalikKuttyMD]

I was surprised at how popular that video is, since it's not even about surgery itself. Funny how people appreciate helpful advice! Dr. K

[@lonestar1637]

Fantastic!

[@staciesliwoski3444]

Omg. Thank you!!!!

[@LuxePlasticSurgeryMalikKuttyMD]

Good idea, huh? 😊

[@Jetsetjessica]

Great tip 🔥

[@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven]

Why is there a 'B' in your profile picture even when your username starts with an 'L'?

[@Ks6384]

Thank you very much. I had a breast reduction and my Surgeon said I can’t get the breast area wet for a month.

[@salmaumar5750]

Can this be used for C-section incisions?

[@brendasollers5252]

Hi,where did you buy this plastic cover from?

[@roonycubias7875]

I'm getting this on the 24 my Dr told me I can shower normally 😮

[@gamingmode2589]

The patient is operated with colostomy bag so he is not able to take bath so i want to order this

[@rush2124u2]

I had eye surgery on both eyes. Could I wrap my face so I can wash my hair, so my eyes lids don't get wet

[@LuxePlasticSurgeryMalikKuttyMD]

Sam, Not sure that’s necessary depending on the incision closure type you had. If you do that, make sure you don’t cover you nose and mouth! Dr. K

[@thinkuncagrizzthinktv7975]

Question could you use this for post foot surgery in the shower

[@LuxePlasticSurgeryMalikKuttyMD]

Of course you should check with your surgeon, but this seals the incision off pretty well so your doctor may be OK with it.

[@anuyadav2439]

Please can I know where can I buy this product?

[@teresa6775]

amazon

[@teresa6775]

or a hardware store like lowes or homedepot or menards.

[@thomastessier4529]

Love it. I wonder if they have that in Thailand. Will have to check the paint stores.

[@nanduaqua7432]

This sheets are used by painters. It's not sterilized I think , then it's not safe to cover on the operated area. Dr please suggest some other material. Thank you 🙏

[@MB-wx4gp]

Your clothes and bedsheets aren’t sterilized either. Not trying to be cheeky, but how is that any different? I think it should be fine for the purpose of keeping the incision dry.

[@ronharrington8659]

Great idea. I have painters tape. Going to add plastic for small abdomen hernia repair incision to shower in.

[@rahathassan4144]

Here I am, after having a shower, not using any protecting methods, and wetting up the bandage. Don't be like me guys, be smart!
