Surgery glue

[2bsleeved26 18]

I'm about 5 days post-op, I'm curious as to when I can expect the surgical glue to "fall off"? It keeps snagging onto my clothing and I'm afraid to wash them in the shower so I just let lukewarm Water fall onto them.

Took mine about 2 weeks to completely fall off and a couple even at a month were taken off by my surgeon. Do not mess with them, they will not come off until they are ready and when you wash them just do so gently, it's normal for them to crack and start lifting that means the incisions are healing. Don't rush it

Took about 2-3 weeks for most/all to fall off.

At my 2nd go around, I've requested the surgeon use staples to close the wounds, as I had one of my incisions open at my 1st attempt.

I think someone of mine were off by day 7 or so, especially the smaller incision sites.

My doctor told me to let warm Water run over the incisions and then lightly pat on antibacterial soap and let the Water run over it to rinse. Then I would pat them dry with a towel.

Some of my glue came off the first week but some of the thicker glue stayed on for a month and a half. The doctor said that was normal and not to pull any of it off. For a while, I wasn't sure if it would ever completely come off but it did and my incisions have healed beautifully.

Hope that helps!

You can trim the loose edges off with small scissors, just leave what's still adhered to your skin there.

Hey! How did surgery go with Dr.Greene? How are you feeling?

Took about two weeks, and even then some was covered/mixed in with the scabs. Scabs took about a month to start falling off.
