Step 1: Wash Your Hands<\/h2>\n

Before you touch your bandages or get near your incision site, the best thing you can do is wash your hands. Using warm water and soap, you can get off any dirt, germs, or harmful bacteria that can cause an infection.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Take off the Dressing<\/h2>\n

Carefully remove the tape from your skin and remove the bandages from your incision site. If this is your first time changing it, your cotton bandage may stick a little to your incision because of dried blood\u2014 don\u2019t rip it off. Instead, gently peel it back so that you don\u2019t disrupt the stitches.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Clean It<\/h2>\n

Using warm, soapy water, take either a cotton pad or clean washcloth and clean the wound. Avoid scrubbing too hard but try to get off any dried blood. If you notice any severe redness, inflammation, or pus, these could be signs that it\u2019s infected and you need to call Dr. Gregory Wiener\u2019s office right away. If the incision site looks normal, continue to cleanse it.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Apply the New Dressing<\/h2>\n

Using clean hands once again, apply the new, clean bandages and tape to your incision site\u2014 trying to leave it taut against the skin but not too tight.<\/p>\n

Keeping your incision site clean after a breast augmentation is one of the best ways to make sure that you have a safe and speedy recovery. To learn more recovery tips, contact Dr. Gregory Wiener\u2019s office today and schedule an appointment<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
