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?

Answer: Blood on steri-strips Thanks for your inquiry. I suggest you call your doctor to discuss ASAP. It is not normal to have new blood on your incisions this far after surgery. I would not change your steristrips without discussing with your surgeon. Good Luck.

Answer: Steri strips Thanks for your question. The steri strips may be removed at this point (10 days after surgery). Occasionally there can be dried blood on the dressings following breast augmentation surgery. My suggestion would be to get in contact with your plastic surgeon and let them know that there has been a change in the appearance of the dressings. I hope that helps, and all the best.
