I had my breast augmentation done in January and it's been about 6 weeks. The steri strips are still on the incision very strongly and are not threading or budging. My left incision feels very itchy and I'm getting a little worried if this is normal. Could I try to remove this myself? Thank you.

Answer: Steri-strips at 6 weeks Thank you for your question. Post operative instructions to vary from one plastic surgeon to another regarding the removal of steri-strips. That being said, I often remove steri-strips at 4 weeks post procedure. Best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon for instructions. Good luck.
