When to remove surgical tape? (Photo)

Follow your doctor’s advice. We tend to leave it on 1-2 weeks then use a
scar maturation product topically that is silicone based afterwards. See the below link for post op instructions I give to my patients

Thank you very much for your email enquiry
and your photograph. We would generally
leave the tape on for two weeks around the nipple and one week in the other
areas. We have found from our patients at Aurora
Clinics that the scars around the nipple do tend to heal the best if the tape
remains for slightly longer. A small amount of blood underneath the tape
is not too much to be concerned about but fresh blood coming through the
dressing would be a concern.If you have any questions or concerns
regarding the tape it would be sensible to schedule a consultation with your
plastic surgeon to go through the options for this and to ensure you get the
best possible healing.Many thanks for your enquiry.Best wishes.

It looks like you have steristrips which are placed to support the incision after suturing.  Please check with your surgeon on when to remove the tape.  Often surgeons will tell patients to let the tape separate on it's own and fall off when it is loose.  We have been using Dermabond, a skin adhesive instead of tape.  We prefer this as it seals the skin immediately, allowing patients to shower after surgery.
