Steri-strips still on incision after 6 weeks, is this okay?

Asked By:hellotheree in San Diego, CA

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.
