Removal of Surgical Tape After Breast Lift...When Is Best?

June 9, 2012
Asked By:mynewstart

My dr instructed me to remove the surgical tape at two weeks. I removed a small portion and it just does not look ready to remove it. I've heard many say that the dr does this for them and I've heard 3 weeks from people. The area I removed it from has a stinging feeling now.
