How to remove surgical tape residue from body after surgery?

Question

23 day post op from my bbl today, still have swelling, pain and discomfort in areas of my body and also some bruising left... I have been trying to remove the tape residue from my body but hurts when I try to scrub it with a cloth in the shower, I was wondering if theres an easier way to remove it?

Jeremy Pyle, MD · Answer

It’s important to be gentle with yourself and the parts of
your body that are still tender from surgery. Try to avoid scrubbing with too
much pressure, as that can aggravate your healing process. You can apply baby
oil, cooking oil or rubbing alcohol to the residue site on your skin and let it
sit for several minutes. Then, delicately brush a cloth over the area to help
remove any remaining residue. Applying a warm compress to the site can also
help. This simple home remedy should work. Good luck.
