had septoplasty and sinus surgery done yesterday.. am I able to take a shower today?

Question

I still have packing in my nose, and I am going to see the doctor tommorow to remove it. But my face is all greasy, and I feel like taking a shower. would it be safe to take one? or should I wait?

Answer 1

You could call your dr's office and ask. I think maybe a damp washcloth, wiping gently around your face would be ok. I wouldn't hop in the shower and let water run all over your face.

Answer 2

I would use a washcloth & skip the shower until after the md appt.
hope this helps ;)

Answer 3

no dont' take a shower until you get it removed. actually don't let any water or soap touch you.
