I had my BA last wednesday and I was curious as what to do with my steristrips. When do I take them off. Do they come off on their own when they are ready?
Answer: When do I take off my steristrips? Best to leave them in place until they fall off. If they don't come off after 2-3 weeks, you or your operating surgeon can remove them. Best of luck for great results!!

CONTACT NOW Answer: When to Remove Strips This is a very specific question. Every surgeon has his/her own technique and timing for dressings. In my practice for breast surgery and abdominoplasties, I use the strips as a skin closure technique, I use a special type of strips that are water resistant hence, they are kept in place for a month after which I remove then. Meanwhile the patient can shower the day after surgery while the strips keep the wound tension minimal contributing to he best scar possible. Additionally, this technique does not require any special wound dressing which makes life very easy for the patient.

Answer: Steristrips Every surgeon has his own post operative protocol. I usually tell my patients to wait until the steristrips fall off on their own, which can take a couple of weeks. You should ask your surgeon what their instructions are.

Answer: When to remove steri-strips? I recommend that steri-strips be removed only in my office by myself or my staff. Your PS might have the same protocol. Call your PS office before doing anything to your strips. Best, Dr. ALDO.

Answer: Steri-Strips after surgery You should definitely call your plastic surgeon about the way he wants you to handle this. I prefer to remove the steri strips at 5 days, but we all have different ideas about this.
