Incisions steri strip removel 3 days early Started by: Yvette

It wont hurt to take them off iv not had mine on for a while now an i was about a week afyer you having the op xx

I haven’t had mine on since day 7, mine are healing fine. I’m sure 3 days early is not going to make a difference, just don’t put any body wash or anything on the incisions xx

I had my dressing took off at my 7dpo check and had nothing on since. I was just told not to put soap directly on my incisions and not to have a soak in the bath until I have seen my surgeon at my 6wpo. Xx

It might be different for me as I had dissolvable stitches? I know every surgeon has different way of doing things but ye I’d ring them just to be sure. I’m only 4wpo aswell and my scabs have only just come off so that could be another reason xx

My surgeons the same..have to leavr steri strips ob as long as possible and i have extra to replace if they come off before 3weeks. Apparently it helps yo smooth out the scars? Im sure 3days wont hurt though as some ladies have been strip free since day 7
