When can you remove the bandages?

I've been all through my paperwork and can't find any directions as to when the bandages can be removed. I have white pads 1.5" by 2" covered with clear plastic. I'd love to remove them, but unsure because I had surgery only two days ago.

When did y'all remove your bandages?:)

I only had stirle strips and they told me to just let them come off by themselves. It was about 2 weeks before they were completely gone then I had a spot that I thought didn't looked healed enough so I put another on on it.

I had the clear plastic bandages too. I took them off a couple of days after surgery. I also took my steri strips off 10 days post op. You can always call your dr and ask them ;)
