I am almost 3 weeks out from mastopexy with implants. My seurgon said that I should take my steri strips off because it had been two weeks. I took them off in the shower and i believe it bled under the top layer of skin. It did not split the incions themselves, just the skin on top of my areola. I am wondering if this will make my scarring horrible or significantly worse? Any tips ??
