Incision Glue

[logicwand 269]

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.

Soap and Water in the shower isn't budging it? I would think soon it would be going bye bye, wonder if anyone else had that long acting blend?

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

Dang now you won't know how cute they really are.

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 before that.

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 put Vaseline on them and they fell off the next day. I did this after 2 weeks post op

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.
