My tape is pulling off scabs. Is this going to stop me getting the best results for my scars?

I had a breast lift augmentation and tummy tuck 2 weeks ago.My wounds were sealed with glue so I had no drains or dressings and I'm really pleased so far.For the last week I have had tape on my scars which I removed today.Everything looks good but when I took the tape off it pulled off some scabs.There's no weeping but ripping off scabs can't be good for healing.Is this going to stop me getting the best results?
