Hi Tink,
I removed mine today 4 days post op my check is on Thursday, my nurse phoned me to see how I was doing and she said it was fine to remove them as they were really irritating me very itchy and suffocating!!
She told me I need to remove them with hot air using a hairdresser on a medium level, and to just make sure I leave on my steri strips covering my insisons.
I feel so much better and my insisons are still covered up x
