My PS did not put surgical tape over the wounds of my BL and TT. He just advised me to clean it and put gauze over it and secure it with tape. I read a lot about placing tape over the wounds to help secure them and I did. But two days later I did not feel that the tape was on correctly and when I removed it from my breast the dissolvable stitches came right off. I am 14 days post op. Will this affect the healing and apperance of the wound? I'm concerned about removing the tape from the TT.
