Post op

Wondering how long it took for your surgical tape to come off I was told to leave it be and let it fall off on it's own it's been 12 days since my surgery and the tape on my abdomen is looking dirty

    My surgeon took it off during my first post op visit, on 9th day.

    I had a tape over glued incisions.

    I had glue, not tape. It took about four weeks before the last of the glue flaked off.

    I had surgical tape with my plastic surgery, though. I think it came off (on its own) at around three weeks out.

    I had glue as well and at 3 weeks I could see my incisions were closed well... so I just washed and gently peeled it off.
