Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether showering with surgical drain tubes in place after first stage breast reconstruction causes increased risk of infection. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there an increased risk of infection/complications with showering 48 hours after drain tubes are in place * Does showering after 48 hours with drain tubes in place affect quality of life.
Primary Outcome
The primary outcome measure will be the presence of infection as judged by the non blinded attending surgeon within the 90 day time frame during post operative evaluations.
