Hi, my bandages are still firmly stuck on the 2 incisions 2 weeks post op and was wondering when or if they will ever come off? instructions were to let them come off on their own. In other threads I've read that people start treating them with oils as soon as a 1 week post op to reduce scarring. Any advice on post op incision treatment would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
PS - Still in a lot of pain but it's still early, will post a progress update 3 weeks post op.

Have you been showering?

My surgeon told me that sometimes the OR uses a lot of glue and they don't always fall off automatically. Won't hurt you to remove them gently. Just wash the incisions with soap and water - don't immerse them in water though. Showering is fine. They don't require any other treatment.
