I just recently had a rhinoplasty. After the removal of the cast and the stitches, steri-strips were placed on the site of the Weir incisions. The strips are already beginning to fall off and they were only placed there 2 days ago. The nurse practitioner said the goal was for them to stay on one week. I will be going back to work in 2 days- would it be okay to remove them before my return or will I be risking any development of an infection and/or deformity?
