Reflexive Pronoun 'Me'
The pronoun 'me' indicates that the action of the verb is performed by the speaker on themselves.
Stem-change 'Vestirse'
The verb 'vestirse' is an e-to-i stem-changing verb, which is why 'vestir' becomes 'visto' in the first person singular.
Prepositional Infinitive
After 'después de', Spanish uses the infinitive form of the verb ('duchar') rather than a conjugated form.

✕Common Mistakes
Visto después de ducharme.
The verb 'vestirse' is reflexive; you must include the pronoun 'me' to indicate you are dressing yourself.
Me visto después de duchar.
Even in the infinitive form after a preposition, the reflexive pronoun 'me' must be attached to 'duchar' because the subject is still performing the action on themselves.

Después de ducharme, me visto.
After showering, I get dressed.
