If I'm Allergic to Surgical Type What else Will Be Put over the TT Incision?

You do not necessarily need to have surgical tape on your incision.  You should discuss your situation with your surgeon.  Alternatives include surgical glue (Dermabond), antibiotic ointment, or nothing at will with just clean dry bandages.  So, there are many options.  Don't worry.

 

Good Luck.

This is easy.they can place the dressings over your incision and then put on a velcro girdle type garment to hold your dressings in place.

There are plenty of alternatives to surgical tape. The most common is a skin glue such as Dermabond. Although an allergy to the glue is also a possibility, I have found that to be a rare occurrence (particularly in comparison to tape sensitivities).

I frequently dont use tape.  we have numerous options including tissue glue, steristrips, and even nothing at all...

Hi, there are several alternatives for surgical tape.  Personally, I like using Dermabond (glue) or Prenio (Dermabond tape).  Please let your plastic surgeon know that you are allergic to surgical tape.  He may have different preference.
