How long did your steri strips stay on for? I'm 13 days out and mine are still firmly attatched with only a little bit lifting at the edges. I want them off so badly! Anyone else take this long?
I was quite shocked when at my one-week appointment my surgeon's associate started plucking mine off! After he did it I was glad....because if I'd had to have plucked 'em off like he did.....they would still be on there!

When I went for my 2 week follow up the surgeon said I could start taking them off - I was told to do it in the shower because it was easier when they were wet. That way none of the scabs would come off and bleed. I did a couple of strips a day until they were all gone.
Hey there! I took my off after about 10 tens. I called my surgeon and asked because I was afraid they weren't heeled and they said thet was fine. I took a long shower to let them soak first so they would be easier to pull off. Have a good day!
