Worried about surgeons instructions. Please help. Thank you
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.
