Allergic reaction to surgical tape. How long can it last?

grtbeach30
I am 4 days post breast augmentation. My doctor forgot I have extreme allergy to surgical tape and covered my breasts and sutures with it. Needless to say I am a mess. I removed all the tape 2 days post. Red, swollen welts have grown into insision areas. How long can this last? And how upset should I REALLY be?
