I went to my breast augmentation & Donut lift post op appointment this morning (surgery was yesterday.) The wrap was removed and I was told that I do not need tape around incision site and that there is glue . This makes me uneasy as all my friends had to wear tape for weeks. Do I need tape, is the glue enough? How does it stay clean

Answer: No surgical tape needed for Breast Augmentation? I would not be worried. In fact deep sutures combined with superglue works very well after breast augmentation. I avoid the use Steri-Strips because I believe fluid Beneath them and can macerate the incision.

Answer: Steri Strips vs skin glue (Dermabond) after breast augmentation There are various ways to cover the skin after breast augmentation (as well as other procedures). The two most common are Steri Strips (tape) and skin glue. Dermabond is probably the best known example of skin glue. Both methods work well. Some surgeons prefer one method and some prefer another. I don't think one way is necessarily better than another. In my practice, I usually use Steri Strips in conjunction with Mastisol, which helps the Steri Strips adhere to the skin. However, I will use Dermabond in situations where a patient has a sensitivity to adhesive tape, and they are fairly common. The skin glue seals the incision and creates a waterproof barrier. In theory, it should keep bacteria out of the incision as well.

Answer: No worries If your surgeon prefers to use glue(derma bond) that is more than acceptable and will work just fine while other surgeon use steri-strips, tape, ect. Every surgeon is different, assuming you achieve your desired result from your surgery, you will be thankful you weren't like some of your friends who had to wear dressings for weeks. Best of luck with your healing.
