After 48 hours: Assuming that the surgery was unremarkable, that there was no infection and the wound was closed with stitches or staples, then you need only 48 hours before the dressing can come off. You may shower but should not bathe. Patients often keep a dressing tucked in their underwear to prevent the underwear from rubbing against the incision, or to catch any drainage that may seep from the incision.

Talk to your surgeon: most likely the wound dressings usually removed by the surgeon during post O P follow up visit .
