How long after mastectomy can i go swimming in my pool?

Depends: Need to check with your surgeon, but generally in about 1 to 2 weeks after any sutures or drain has been removed. It depends on how one is healing, the discomfort with arm movement, and what the surgeon recommends for each person's situation.

Ask Your Surgeon: Much of our advice is based on sound scientific principles, however questions such as yours have a lot to do with the particular surgeon's customs, training, and experience, and are better answered by the person who closed your incisions. In my practice, i would let someone swim app. One week after drain removal, provided that they had no shoulder weakness.

Varies: BUT all sutures out, skin sealed. No swelling, no drainage, good mobility. AND your surgeon says GO swim!

Speak to your: surgeon , if wound s not under tension , most of people can go for swim in 4 to 5 wks post OP but few need more time as the wound may disrupt if it is under tension , only your surgeon can tell you , when to swim. Good Luck
