Saline: Simple saline wash would be best unless you have access to some wound cleansers, most of which are similar to that anyway, but some have silver or other antimicrobials in them. Would avoid betadine, iodine, peroxide, soap etc.

Wound Care: It is advisable to discuss wound repair care with the plastic surgeon that did the repair.
