How long do I keep the tape on my scars after a breast augmentation? (Photo)

December 29, 2017
Asked By:jeewlianik in Auckland, NZ

I had my augmentation done 12 weeks ago, at my 6 week checkup My surgeon told me to keep using the tape, however he didn’t specify for how long. I am nearly out Of the tape and am wondering if I need to keep going with it at this stage - My insicions have all healed up. . I’m asking here as His office is closed over the Christmas period and he is away (plus I don’t think it warrants a phone call to him while he’s away)
