My incisions were covered with dermabond adhesive, anyone else have this? How long does it take to fall off? My adhesive is beginning to peel off on its own 1 week post-op.

Mine fell off at about the two-week mark. They were pretty gross by that point, lots of gunk and a few stray cat hairs :-p

I had sterile strips. I pulled my drain tube one off after 3 days. It was having an allergic reaction to benzoin. The rest I pulled off at 2 weeks!

Mine started peeling after a few days and continued for about 2 weeks..then I started scrubbing off the places not directly touching my incision with alcohol.. the rest would come off in the shower.

I let it fall off on it's own. After a week or two, the edges not attached to the cuts started to lift, but it was up to 6 weeks before they fell off entirely. The parts stuck to the incisions came loose last.
