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

March 5, 2013
Asked By:Newbie322 in West Texas

I am 7 days post op today, and I live 9 hours away from my surgeon. I flew to a much more credible town and doctor to have a lift and full tummy tuck done. Anywho, I had a large piece of "plastic" (to me) hanging underneath my left breast just now and remembering my doctor say I could remove the tape when it started falling off, I did just that. Well, a large dark (blood?) spot plus the tape came off leaving a bit of a gap and it was bleeding lightly. What the heck did I do!?
