Hi, I just asked one question and received some very helpful replies. Thank you kindly! Already I have another question. My surgery was on November 1 and Steri-Strips/bandages were placed over my incisions. Everything seems to be healing well and three of the five steri-strips have fallen off. Is this too soon and should I be placing new bandages over the incisions? Thanks for any insight.

If they are falling off naturally I wouldn't worry about replacing them. Your incisions should be closed by now. One of mine fell off early and my incision opened up a bit. I got butterfly bandages from the store and put one on so it wouldn't open up anymore.

If you notice any inflamation or oozing, you may want to call your doctor.

No you are fine, at my 1 week post op visit she told me to rip them off as they get all grungy and could get infection. If you have any left on there, I would get them off.
