How long do you leave those Steri Strips? after Surgery?
#8
Ask the surgeon or a surgical resident who was involved in the surgery.

I was given the wrong instructions by the doctor who checked me out of the hospital. As a result, I left my bandages and strips on for longer than necessary and then re-bandaged the wounds when I should have left them uncovered. I don't know that it made a difference ultimately, but it could have made the scars worse.

I didn't find this out until I had a follow-up appointment with the surgeon two weeks after surgery.
