1 week post op breast reduction, what kind of tape was used on incisions? (photo)

Fearless6063
I had my breast reduction on April 4th, 2019, There is so type of tape over my incisions ( either transpore or microspore ) I was curious which tape is usually used over incisions? My doctor wants to leave the tape on for another week or two but he said if it is sticking use powder. But some of the tape is coming off. Which tape is recommended to use: transpore or microspore? He said I can take if off if it's coming off but I just want to replace it so it can continue healing.
