I have an incredible surgeon and he advised me that this week I could remove my steri strips ( a little over a month post op) they started to curl up and catch on my bra on Sunday.Monday I took the steri strips off.I'm worriee they may not be closed all the way! They have been off for two days now and I have covered them with a large band aid and each morning I wake up and there is a little blodd and yellow discharge, mainly from the right incision, underneath the band aid.No pain or fever.
