What are some alternatives to steri-strips for tummy tuck?

Asked By:lolly78 in Chicago, IL

Hello. I notice many patients have the tape/steri strips over their tummy tuck incisions. I had a horrible reaction to the strips with my last c-section which left my stomach itchy, red and blistered and I had to take antibiotics. Is there an alternative to the strips following the tummy tuck procedure?
