Keep Incision covered with a bandage for the first 24–48 hours after surgery. After this time, your incision will need to be looked at daily. Keeping the incision as dry as possible will help your incision stay clean and free of infection. Gently Pat dry the incision, do not rub or add lotion/powder. Let Incision air dry for 1 hour three times daily. It is important to keep the incision as dry as possible. The dryer your skin, the less likely you are of developing an infection. Some redness around the incision site is normal and should diminish with time
