Should I remove the yellow tape on top of stitches? Breast augmentation

September 1, 2016
Asked By:q1123 in Florida, FL

I had my ba 7 days ago and I am released to shower today. My doctor put me in a compression bra during my follow up and told me to remove the gauze and yellow tape over my stitches before I shower. I am reading a lot of places say not to remove the yellow tape. I just don't want to mess anything up. Please help!
