I recently got a breast reduction about 3 weeks ago and things have not been going well for me. I just want to know after breast reduction surgery are they supposed to put steri strips around the nipple incision as well? because my doctor only used gauze

Answer: Post Op Dressings Post op dressings will vary from surgeon to surgeon.Many surgeons will apply steri-strips to the incision as ancillary support. However, this is not an absolute. Different surgeons will adhere to different protocols.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).Donovan Rosas MD Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery Member: American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American Society of Plastic Surgeons RealSelf Top 100 RealSelf Hall of Fame
