rolakhouri 4 Posted November 13, 2012 When do I get to uncover my incision? Is my port under there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted November 13, 2012 I had to take bandages off the second day due to allergic reaction to adhesive. That was fine, just don't remove steri strips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose1966 396 Posted November 13, 2012 My clinic made me rip everything off at my 1 week post op appt. Didn't want it to get infected. (depends how you were put back together. I just had steristrips, no outwardly stitches) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheryl2586 3,053 Posted November 13, 2012 I never had bandages just steri strips. Let them fall off themselves though. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 13, 2012 Wait for the doctor's input. I only had steri-strips so there may be a reason you have more. It is unlikely the port is under the bandage unless it is very large. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
