Like there are two inscisions that I can see are going to take more time than the other three which already look good to go (3 days post op).

How long did YOU treat your inscisions???

4 days after release from Hospital. I'm 7 days out and fully healed - just pink. I think the daily neosporin helped speed it along.

Oh, good to hear. They didnt even tell me to use neosporine , I just did because I always have, post op.

I literally never touched mine at all. I'm used to tattoo and piercing care so competitively I did nothing at all. In reality what I did do was use antibacterial dial soap in the shower and let them get plenty of air from day one. I never had more than some steri-strips and skin glue though. By day 3 post op they were already healed.

My dr said to leave the steri strips on until my post op appointment. . Day ten post op he took them off and they were pretty much all healed up!

I have dermabond on mine, so they aren't open to air just yet. Mine are healing up nicely though. (3 days post op as well)

My surgeon used glue to cover mine. I am supposed to let the glue naturally fall off and voila all better! I am skeptical but my incisions look really good. I am 5 days post op.

Mine look just like yours.

I never did anything beyond antibacterial soap until.... I had the dermabond and 2 healed in days, the big one and other 2 small ones were slower. The 2 small ones got pretty pink and were a little sore and the glue/scab lifted up partially on my big one creating a breeding ground. I kept them clean with dial soap and used triple antibiotic ointment and it all healed right up. I still have no idea why the two on the right healed in days while the left lingered around for awhile. If the scab hadn't lifted I wouldn't have used anything other than antibacterial soap but it got kinda gross when that happened.

Ok thanks ladies, I have no glue, and no steri strips, only stitches that will dissolve. I was told to wash daily with soap and water, then use peroxide. I do have one that is looking a little oozy. Using neosporine. Have a bad rash all over my stomache, probably from the adhesive tape :-(

So this is what I woke up to. Doc told me to shower normally once I got home. I am 8 days post op and the large patches and hearts are now gone (surgery team must have thought they were cute...sweet gesture). I now just have sterile strips, but some of those are falling off. I am just using an antibacterial soap when showering and leaving them alone.

I'm two weeks post op and my incisions are not fully healed yet. They are partly, but not all the way.

day one :

and I left the steri strips on till they fell off. I just used unscented antibacterial soap

three weeks:
