Thank you for your question. Please always consult with your Plastic Surgeon as to when you are required to take the steri strips off. After surgery, a follow-up appointment should be made 5 to 7 days to ensure healing is where it should be. Make sure you go back to your surgery and find out as you do not want the result to be affected by leaving the strips on for too long. Please do not attempt to remove yourself.Good luck.

Please contact your surgeon and ask them when it is safe to remove the steri strips. Please do not remove them before speaking with the surgeon.
