Asked By:_SweetDoll87

I had my breast augmentation surgery one week ago as was instructed to remove my steri strips and have my stitches removed by my primary care doctor at 7 days PO. I am scheduled to have stitches removed tomorrow and my incision still feel very sore and red after removing the tape. Is this normal? Also are my incisions supposed to look this way? I was expecting them to be much thinner. Will they improve??
