I had my surgery last Tuesday and mine are still holding strong. Even the one right under my bra (leave it to a man to put an incision right there!).

I am 11 days post-op and I peeled all of mine off today because they were barely on, except for my biggest incision. I am not touching that one because it is still tender.

One of the peeps at the hospital took mine off at my 1 week. Hurt like hell.

I am a nurse. We tell our post op patients that the steri steps usually fall off about 7-10 days. My surgeon took them off on day 5. Way to early. The incisions are so tender still..
