Can I Bathe Or Shower After Bunion Surgery? | Lapiplasty® Recovery
Immediately after surgery on the foot and ankle, most surgeons will tell you not to get your foot or ankle wet until after the incision has healed and the sutures have been removed. Hear from Dr. Robert Santrock as he advises patients to wait about three weeks after Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion CorrectionTM. He recommends having a shower bag or something to cover the dressing and keep it dry while bathing. Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion CorrectionTM features patented, advanced technology designed to correct all three dimensions of the bunion at the root of the problem (unstable joint). This bunion surgery returns your entire bone to normal 3D alignment and the unstable joint is secured with patented, titanium plates to get you back on your feet quickly (typically within 3-10 days in a walking boot).1,2,3 To see if Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion CorrectionTM may be right for you, visit http://bit.ly/3hbP7N7.
