How long for incisions to heal?

I am 2 days post op and all my incisions were glued. How long do those usually take to heal? Do they just fall off or what?

    I had steri-strips which took about a month to all fall off. My surgeon told me my incisions were closed as soon as a left the hospital. I just had to be careful not to let them get infected (like taking long baths). Almost three months out now and the scars are starting the smooth down already. I do use bio-oil everyday though!

    I had glue also. About day 8 I was able to start peeling the glue off. Only pull loose glue off otherwise you may pull skin
