Not only is this normal it is more often the case than not with smooth round devices.  The two halves of the human body are not mirror images and will respond to surgery with disparate amounts of pain, wound healing, and muscle relaxation. 6 to 12 weeks will make a big difference in most cases.

Thank you for your question. You can use your steri-strips for 4-6 weeks, but i would recommend to follow your surgeon instructions.  I hope my answer will help you to your question.Before undergoing any surgical procedure, please seek a board certified plastic surgeon
