who else had their incissions glued?

mine were glued, i have two incissions and 3 holes, how long did it take for them to fall off? two of my holes are almost all the way off and one of my incissions is starting to fall off, does anybody have pix of what they looked like when they fell off(just curious)?

Mine were glued as well. It took about a week for them to start peeling off and I definitely helped with that :sad: I still had a few strays after 2 weeks but nothing I couldn't pick off. I don't have pics though! I have 3 incisions and 2 holes.

i wish mine were off all the way, its ugly looking lol, i hope the incissions will be un noticleable when its full healed

Mine were glued too. Three small incisions and belly button. They are still bruised on day 5. Good to know they will peel off

Mine where glued and I have pictures post op on my blog. They totally fell off in 4 weeks. I didn't pull them off through just let them fall off..........

Mine were totally off before my 4 week post-op appt. and all but one were off by week 3 (have 5 incisions). Had a tiny end of a suture sticking out of me when the last one fell off (from an internal suture LOL...he just cut it off).

they are ugly looking lol i'm waiting patiently for mine to loosen up..its been 4 weeks and i think they like where they are.

Mine were glued. Took a while for all the glue and scabbing to fall off. Maybe five weeks post op. Meanwhile, now I'm left with one nasty ugly looking scar right under my breasts and four little tiny incisions. I'm trying Mederma but I dont have much hope that they will ever look "good"

I had mine glued as well and they took way longer to heal. They seemed to start oozing (sorry tmi) after a week or so. It wasn't until the third week or more that they were finally almost healed. The scars are also bigger than most I have seen with staples. Much thicker. I am almost 6 months post op and they are still fat and purple. They are lightening up a bit.

My (five) incisions were glued as well. The glue was gone by two weeks, and yes I helped it along, the glue drove me crazy and I resisted picking at it as long as possible (a week, probably) My port scar is most noticeable, but all 5 are varying degrees of visible.

band_groupie so that's what's sticking out?? I have one too and I was wondering lol one of my "holes" scab came off with my shirt and I didn't want it to come off yet, it wasn't ready ): now there will be a nasty scar there but I guess I can always get a small tattoo there. Most of mine fell off half way two fell off fully and I'm gonna have to check those pix out
