My PS used surgical glue to close my incision and has instructed me to let it come off naturally. Today marks three weeks post op for me and it hasn't budged. Obviously I plan on following the doctors orders but it would be nice to finally get to see my incision!

Answer: Surgical Glue post-op On average surgical glue will fall off in 2-3 weeks. The more frequently you shower, the quicker the glue will come off. Applying antibiotic ointment will speed up the removal of the glue. Check with your Plastic Surgeon about removal of the glue.
