Very trivial question but I accidentally went into the shower with non waterproof tape over my breasts (2weeks post op from breast reduction) and now I have a huge amount of glue left over my incisions which is now sticking to my compression bra! How do I remove the sticky glue from my breasts without scrubbing them?! Ouch. Thank you.

Hello,Even if you hit the Schnur scale, your company might still deny you.  Breast reduction coverage is fading away. Too much abuse and flimsy data make it more of a cosmetic procedure. My recommendation is finding a surgeon that does this surgery really well; chances are he doesn't take i...
