Is it painful to have the steri strips removed after a breast reduction?

MP1231
This is my second BR (20 yrs ago and then now), I don't recall having steri strips however here I am. I have quite hard blotches of dried blood underneath the strips and around the aureola and underneath. I go to the PS next week (my 2nd visit to her, she took of the main dressing last week). Will she take them off? And does it hurt because they stick so much?
