Incision Glue

When is this stuff supposed to fall off? I'll be 3 weeks post op on Wednesday and the glue is still hard and covering the incisions.

    I had surgery Feb. 15. Looking back at notes I took along the way, it looks like my scabs started falling off on March 5 (~2.5 weeks), and I know the edges of the glue were peeling about a week or so

  • I had surgery March 19 th will be able to go home tomorrow. Having a really tuff time drink my fluids.

Right! It's so strange. Some of it has peeled away around the edges, but it's clinging to those incisions really good. Lol

Mine've been peeling at the edges for about a week, one of them's come off. I'm in no hurry to take them off though, the glue is adhering to the crusted blood on top of the incision site and I'm pretty sure if I peel it off now it'll make the scar worse. When the skin underneath is healed, the scab will loosen and the whole thing will just come off naturally.

I peeled mine off after a week because I was having an allergic reaction to the glue. The incisions were fine. In fact, they look much better than the irritated areas from the bandages!

Ok, I'm 3.5 weeks post op and tonight I peeled the glue off 4 of the 5 incisions. There's glue on one incision that felt kinda painful as I went to take it off, so I just left it. I put Bio oil on the others now and will apply after every shower. I'm hoping it helps make the scars less visible.
