it's what they used to seal my incisions. i've been banded almost a week and it's still going strong... i was hoping to put that scar reducing stuff on my incisions, but can't b/c of the superglue. i was wondering if anyone know how long it lasts? and if there is any chance that dirt/bacteria can seep through - i worry about infection.

thanks!

That's what I had, no stitches or staples just the glue and you can barely even see my scars. My surgeon told me to NOT use the scar remedy stuff until after 4-6 weeks after surgery. He told me that the day of surgery. I now use mederma when I think about it but scars are very small and light.

oh good! that is a relief! i don't want scars if at all possible! thank you for responding.

what is the best way to get the glue off? I'm still sort of timid about rubbing the incisions too much. I have gently scrubbed with soap and water... Any suggestions?

Let it wear off on its own.

Once most of it wears off naturally and the incisions are closed, you can peel off the remaining bits.

I agree, let it be. It wears off before too long. I think it was about 4 weeks after. I have not used any scar treament and mine are very small and light.
