I went to my breast augmentation & Donut lift post op appointment this morning (surgery was yesterday.) The wrap was removed and I was told that I do not need tape around incision site and that there is glue . This makes me uneasy as all my friends had to wear tape for weeks. Do I need tape, is the glue enough? How does it stay clean

Answer: No worries If your surgeon prefers to use glue(derma bond) that is more than acceptable and will work just fine while other surgeon use steri-strips, tape, ect. Every surgeon is different, assuming you achieve your desired result from your surgery, you will be thankful you weren't like some of your friends who had to wear dressings for weeks. Best of luck with your healing.

Answer: Post Surgical Dressing Some surgeon choose to use a glue (Dermabond) to cover the incision. While others, like myself prefer surgical tape on the incision. How the incision is dressed is entirely based on surgeon preference and you can always starting silicone taping once your plastic surgeon clears you to do so.Good luck.
