How Soon After Tummy Tuck Can I Begin to Use 3M Microlpore Tape?

December 3, 2012
Asked By:ChiLMM05

I am 15 days Post-op Tummy Tuck no muscle repair. My PS said I should wait 6 weeks until I can start using Micropore tape or silicone sheets, but I feel like I should start using the tape sooner. He has advised me to apply WoundBeGone 1 week after TT. I want to start working out again. He has given me the ok to do so, but I would feel a lot better with some tape on my incision. Any advise would be much appreciated. Lastly, has anyone tried 3M Kind Removal Silicone Tape?
