What is the best way to loosen and remove steri strips?

hans0114
My plastic surgeon has asked me to remove my Steri strips 10-14 days after surgery (which is now). They are not very loose yet and I’m a bit concerned of the pain I’ll feel when trying to pull them off. Is there a way I can softly loosen them before I start to remove them? I don’t see my PS again until 1 month post-op.
