I'm almost 3 weeks post op breast augmentation, and I still have the tape over my incisions. Do I just leave it on? My doctor mentioned it would flake off, but it shows no signs of going anywhere.
Answer: Tape on incisions Thank you for your question. Regarding any type of post-operative instructions, it is always best to consult with your plastic surgeon. However, personally, I instruct my patients to remove the tape after the two week mark. Best of luck!

Answer: Breast Augmentation post op Thank you for your question. When it comes to post operative instructions, it is always best to first consult with your operating surgeon as they have developed their own unique set of instructions to provide you with the best post surgery care that ensures both your safety and optimal results. That being said, in our practice typically if the tape has not fallen off after one week,m, we will remove it gently at our patient's one week post operative appointment.With kind regards,Lane F.

Answer: Tape on incisions We typically remove these tapes at one week after surgery when we see the patients back for a follow up visit. You should be able to remove the tape easily 3 weeks following surgery. If you have any difficulty in doing so, call your surgeon's office.
