Incision glue

[charley27 164]

Did anyone else have their insidious glued instead of staples or stitches? Does the glue fall off or what? Some of the glue is sort of pealing away from the skin, but I don't wanna rip it off! Any ideas? I'm about 2 1/2 weeks post op

The glue should just fall off by itself. If there is an edge poking out that might catch on stuff, you can trim it off with small nail scissors.

Leave it alone and let it fall off on its own. Don't scrub it or pick at it. This was the instruction that I got from my surgeon. I left mine on for about 3 weeks and my incisions looked great when it finally peeled off in the shower. It's annoying but much better than stitches or staples.

Yes. The glue will fall off on its own.
