Steri strips have a little more blood on them 10 days post op

August 6, 2016
Asked By:Kutenkrazy1 in Fort Myers, FL

I'm 10 days post op, 550cc silicone gel implants. I have been taking picture everyday so I can track my progress today I noticed a little more dryer blood on both steri strips. My doctor is 3 hours away and it's a Saturday. I probably over did it this past week. Can I take the steri strips off so incisions stay clean? Should I be worried?
