You should wear your shrinker 23 hours per day (unless told differently by your physician) and change it every other day. If you do not have a second shrinker, another one can be purchased, Your shrinker should be removed when bathing, and if any numbness or tingling occurs.
Some people are ready for their temporary prosthesis as early as 2-weeks following the
removal of all staples and sutures. This will vary from person to person. As a general rule,
when the surgical site is fully healed and most of the swelling has disappeared, you will be
ready for the next step. Each patient’s healing time differs depending on their overall health
condition.
