I am 15 days post op with disolvable sutures in place covered with steristrips. When can I remove the steristrips?
Answer: When should steri strips go? Thank you for your question! Typically in my office I have the steri strips removed in 3 weeks from post - op. However, every patient is different and I would contact your surgeon to follow their directions. Best of luck with your recent surgery!

Answer: How long to keep steri strips in place after augmentation Thank you for your question. It is always best to listen to your surgeon. Most of the time, I will leave the steri strips in place until they start to curl back. At that point it's ok to remove them. This may be 2-4 weeks from surgery. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Recovery Since your surgeon is the one who knows your case intimately and every patient's recovery is different, I would advise you to consult he or she. Typically, steristrips are removed after a week.

Answer: Remove the steri strips After about a week the streristrips are dirty and are doing nothing productive, but are trapping bacteria next to the wound. They are typically removed after one week so the wound can be kept clean and dry. Scar products are employed at one month.
