Incision glue

[evilpixie20 9]

I'll be 3 weeks post OP tomorrow and my incision glue is still on. I've tag it should only stay like a week. Should I do something to take it off at this point? It is starting to peel at the edges a little.

I was told the same thing but mine stayed tight on until four weeks post-surgery, when it mostly flaked off and then the rest easily stripped off.

Let it peel on its own! You don’t want to pull out a stitch and get a hole (that’s what happened to me by tugging on the peels) it’ll make a bigger scar.

I'm 3 weeks post op as well and I still have some glue on a couple incisions. Definitely just leave it alone and let it fall off. I had one rub on my underwear and come off too soon and wound up with a small infection in that one. The ones that have fallen off on there own are healing nicely and don't look like they will leave much of a scar.

I am six weeks out and was told to trim off the glue as it starts to peel, but don't pull it off yourself. I just trimmed of the last of my glue yesterday.
