I'm a week post op and my dermabond (glue) is peeling of my incisions. Is this alright? They didn't say when it should come off when I was at my appointment Tuesday. I don't go back until May 4 to get a fill. Has anyone else had dermabond? When did it come off?

the nurse told me to let it flake off as it means you are healing. Resist the urge to pull off anything that is still connected but the fact that it is peeling is normal.

I had dermabond and with showering and ur clothes rubbing it will wear off

I trimmed the edges as they came up so I had less to pick and the edges would not catch on my clothes. Additionally, when the urge to pick is high a band aid!

I also have dermabond. I looked online last night and found it normally starts to come off in 5-10 days. You are not supposed to pick at it but let it come off naturally.
