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 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.

Answer: When do I take off my steri-strips This really depends on how your Plastic Surgeon uses them. I personally leave them on for about a week and then trim sutures. I then replace with new strips which stay on for another week. But that is how I do things.I would suggest asking your Plastic Surgeon about his specific instructions and going from there.I hope that helps!
