When can you remove the bandages?

[TexasFire 84]

I've been all through my paperwork and can't find any directions as to when the bandages can be removed. I have white pads 1.5" by 2" covered with clear plastic. I'd love to remove them, but unsure because I had surgery only two days ago.

When did y'all remove your bandages?

I only had stirle strips and they told me to just let them come off by themselves. It was about 2 weeks before they were completely gone then I had a spot that I thought didn't looked healed enough so I put another on on it.

let them fall off by themselves, that is what i was told

the big ones can be taken off by you now but let the small sterile strips(butterfly bandages) fall off.

I had the clear plastic bandages too. I took them off a couple of days after surgery. I also took my steri strips off 10 days post op. You can always call your dr and ask them

My doctor tole me not to take them off, just let them fall off by themselves. Mine all came off in about 5-7 days.
