Steri strips removed too early? 3 weeks post-op BA. (Photo)

Thank you for your question. It is difficult to tell from the photo. Please follow up with your plastic surgeon to ensure you are healing well. 

Removing your Steri-Strips after three weeks should not be a problem. From the photos, it appears that you are healing nicely. If you have concerns, make sure to contact your plastic surgeon for specific recommendations. Congratulations on your surgery!

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Your photograph indicates normal healing with some sensitivity to the bandaid and/or steri strip.  Best to follow the specific instructions given to you by your plastic surgeon regarding ointment.  Best of luck.

Hello,Thank you for your question and photo. These don't appear problematic.  It is common to have the steri strips off by 3 weeks if not before so you are likely healed enough to leave them uncovered. Keep them clean and follow all post op instructions given by your surgeon.All the best

Dear ccampanian,based on your photos, it looks like you are healing well. In case you are concerned, you can always consult your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS
