Shirt Tore off Steristrip 1 Week Post Op, Should I See My Doctor?

Steri strips fall off all the time for various reasons, I ask my patients to keep the area clean and maybe apply vaseline or polysporin

It should be ok that the steri strip is off a week after surgery.  I would contact your surgeon's office to let them know just in case they would like to examine you.

It is unlikely that you will have any problems with the steri-strip removal, but you may want to touch base with your doctor's office regarding how they want you to treat the incision.

Thank you for the question.

It does not sound like any “harm” was done but for real peace of mind follow-up with your plastic surgeon for examination.

Best wishes.

You should be OK.  But I do think you should have your plastic surgeon take a look to make sure your incision is healing well.

There is probably no problem with removal of steri strips at one week post op. This is a common time to remove them anyway. But to be sure you should check with your plastic surgeon and see if he or she wants to check you or replace them. Good luck.
