    Hey! I’m 3 weeks post op and was wondering when you’re allowed to take the tape off your scars permanently? I’ve changed it 3 times but I’m not sure when I’m allowed to just keep it off. Does anyone know? Thanks ! X

    I took mine off completely after a week my surgeon said I didn’t need it on, just not to completely submerge them in the bath and to continue wearing macom bra or sports bra not to irritate it, it’s now been 6 weeks and my scars are perfect

    Hey,

    I’m not with MYA but my surgeon removed mine after a week and said I can shower etc as normal, as wetting the stitches helps to dissolve them x
