Asked By:realself8891

Hi, I'm just over three weeks post op (uplift and re-augmentation) and only took my steri strips off last night with difficulty.. they were peeling way with the scab. Some of the incision started seeping slightly.. and I put on another sterile plaster. Under the strips, there is still the stitches poking out. Today I've been having stinging and throbbing pain around the incision is 'this norm? I got the surgery in Prague and am now in the UK so I can't go back to the surgeon to look. Any advice welcome.
