I started scratching at mine a week after. By my 2 week follow up, I had completely removed any trace. My surgeon said my incisions had healed beautifully. So I would guess your clear to start peeling away at a week. But only remove what comes easy. I scissored the flap of tape close to the skin when it stopped peeling up easily , then waited to start anew when the edges loosened again.
