Dr. Eid does a special skin closure with skin glue sealing off the incision, making it watertight, allowing early soaking. Not all surgeons do this. Soaking an unsealed wound could increase risk of infection. At least one member of this forum may have developed an infection from soaking an unsealed surgical incision prematurely.
You're exactly right. My doctor said no submersion for the first four weeks.
