My doctor only does the procedures on fridays, and removes bandages on the following tuesday(4days after procedure) then puts light bandages for 3other days but since tuesday its Christmas, he is planning on removing them on monday, a day before he usually removes them. This is my main concern, wouldn't it be too soon to remove them? I don't know how important the bandages are when it comes to optimal results for this procedure. I just want feedback on my current concern. Thank you in advance.
