I had my first surgery on 8/1 on left breast . doc making me wait till 9/12 for other breast ... first had a non cancerous lump that needed to be removed and doc wanted to wait for one to heal before starting other one. I see with alot of people that tape was left on around areola ... with me doc took all bandages off 6 days post op and didnt retape anything ... hate looking at the stitches (dissolving) around areola.
You can purchase our own surgical tape from the drug store....mine were taken by the doctor a week after because they were all bloody and put new ones and he told me to buy my own and change them every week until healed.
you look great I wish my incision would close that quick im two weeks post op one side is still not completely closed on the surface so im worried. I am wondering if I went bout surgical tape reapplied it if would help...
Yes it would definitely help thats what i did..i would change my tape every week. I would take it off,clean it with alcohol n apply new tape until the incisions werehealed
I bought it at cvs just go to the drugstore and go to rhe first aid section and u will find it there. Yes just be careful while removing it u can also wet it to make it easier to take off.
