7 Days PO, and Steri Strip Came off Leaving Gap + Blood? (photo)

   Some bleeding after steristrip removal at 7 days is not particularly concerning.  In the absence of hematoma, fluid collection, infection, large wound separation, or necrosis, the area should heal well.

Hi! Thank you for your question,


I am Dr. Speron, a proud member of both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS).  I am also certified with the American Board of Plastic Surgery.


Small amounts of oozing and bleeding are very common after breast lift surgery. Should heavy bleeding occur, contact your board certified plastic surgeon or your medical office right away.


As for the gap, it will take time to heal however I would advise that you visit your board certified plastic surgeon for a follow up on post op care instructions.


I have provided a link below for additional information and before and after pictures.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to call us at 847.696.9900.
Best of luck and have a great day!


Regards,
Dr. Speron

Thanks for your question, I do not see any large wound, but such concerns are best addressed by calling your surgeon, only he/she knows what is normal with his/her procedures, good luck.
