Can dissolvable stitches be left uncovered 5 days after surgery?

Your question is very upsetting to me, and the plastic surgery factory that you went to, at a minimum, has no heart and certainly does not understand the word, medical ethics.In the U.S., not seeing your patients after you performed surgery is known as abandonment, which I am sure would be considered malpractice.  All of your RealSelf team of plastic surgery experts want to help you in making appropriate decisions for the care of your recent breast augmentation.  I believe you should seek out in person medical help before treating your surgical wound.  Most of the time, these wounds go to healing without much trouble, but sometimes they can turn into a true disaster leading to infection and even implant removal, or worse.I am sorry you are going through this, but you are in no position to make medical determinations about how to treat your wound.  Please seek out appropriate in person medical advice such as a physician, an emergency room, or if a plastic surgeon will see you, that would be the best. 

The tapes should not be removed and then replaced. Silicone sheeting should not be used at 5 days.  There are many things that need to be addressed after surgery.  This is why medical tourism is inherently flawed.Having
surgery abroad is a set-up for problems of this nature. You need to see
a plastic surgeon, but did not trust the surgeons that work diligently in your
area to provide care to their patients. The surgeon that you did choose
has no ability and probably no interest in taking care of their postoperative
patients because they know you are not going to fly back to where they are to
seek out care. So now what? Bring the problems of another surgeon
to the local doctor who you did not allow to treat you and expect that they
will take care of the postoperative complications? Or go back where you had
your surgery and require that the surgeon that did the surgery take
responsibility for their work?
