I removed my steri strips and was taken aback by some of the incisions and stitching. During my follow up appt the tape was still on, so I hadn’t seen the incisions yet. He told me I could remove the tape that day, and start the silicone sheeting immediately. Is this how everyone’s scars look at this point? Also, I have a few spots with a white stitch poking out that will not come out when I pull, and a blistered area that my surgeon said was nothing to worry about, but it’s making me nervous!
