When can incision tape come off?

[SleeveinIL 386]

I was wondering for those whose surgeon used tape over the incisions, did they fall off or did you take them off? Thanks in advance.

Mostly fell off- peeled almost all the way off. I helped the rest of the way [emoji51]

I started scratching at mine a week after. By my 2 week follow up, I had completely removed any trace. My surgeon said my incisions had healed beautifully. So I would guess your clear to start peeling away at a week. But only remove what comes easy. I scissored the flap of tape close to the skin when it stopped peeling up easily , then waited to start anew when the edges loosened again.
