I had a surgery on Friday 29 ,I missed my follow up appointment ,I am out of town paciente . When can I removed my tapes ? Please
Answer: Steristrips timing You will need to be in touch with your surgeon's office to see their protocol. I personally leave small gaps between each steristrip to allow for drainage, I then have the patients maintain their steristrips for about 3 weeks. This helps keep tension off the repair and keep gentile pressure on the healing incision. This helps give the best final scar. Good luck.

Answer: Breast lift Every surgeon has different post op care instructions, I personally do not use tape I tell my patients to keep the incisions dry. Continue to follow up with your PS.

Answer: How many days after breast lift can I removed my tapes? 3 days You should call the clinic or your doctor himself to response to your postop questions. Most reve tape by day 7. But each surgeon has their own methods!
