Thanks jen.i think he said six weeks but Im sure I didnt have to wear it for that long first time round.im completely healed down there now but this tape is really itchy :(xx

i was told by my PS to leave it on for 3 weeks and then go bare. 3 weeks is a long time according to my nurse, and as you say you are completely healed, so really i can't imagine you needing to wear it still.

but of course do check with your clinic x

Thanks blue I will still check xx

I have been asked to wear microtape for at least 3 months!

I would check with the clinic, we all get given different advice.

If in doubt.... Always call your clinic and ask about YOUR post-op instruction babe, xx

Double check with your surgeon I had to use it for 12 weeks.

I had to wear it for 2 weeks then that was it but I still had to keep my scars dry etc for a few weeks more, like no submerging under water and swimming etc

im pretty proud of my scars (thankfully something went right lol) they are very hard to see now and i worry this will maybe change after my reop

but yip as everyone else says if in doubt as your surgeon xx
