The surgeon told me to keep putting tape over my incision. Local anesthesia, dissolvable stitches. 2wks post op. Is this right?

Taping of the incisions for more than 2 weeks after surgery is not uncommon.  If applied correctly, the tape can help take some of the tension off the scar and help the healing.  I often have my patient use tape for 4-6 weeks after surgery and then start applying a silicone based scar product to assist with the maturing process of the scar.Most importantly, follow your surgeon's directions.  He/she knows you best.
