I had surgery on the 22nd at TWH and I was told after 48 hours would be fine, but no baths for 6 weeks.

He also said to leave the strips on as long as possible but if they fell off in the shower, not to worry too much.  To also pat dry the strips/incision area and make sure that it is completely dry.
