It'll be fine hunny, do it after a shower when the skin and tape is wet comes off a lot easier , have your shower/shallow bath dry your scars througly with a hairdryer on a cool setting then re apply fresh tape. X

Jen
I just wondered how you got on with this lovely?
I am seeing the nurse on Thursday to remove tape and replace with waterproof one (I think anyway for further 4 wks)

Hiya, was ok kriz. I removed them myself (they were waterproof though). I changed my own tapes since that every couple of days. But for a week now I haven't had an tapes on. Mr H said leave them off for a couple of weeks so I can massage scars more often. The tapes were leaving my skin bright red too.
Hope your app with nurse goes well. Hope you're doing ok too? X

Depends on the surgeon. I did my own. From my op date I don't see anyone until 3 months. I've had many phone calls, emails and a skype since though x

Re: 3 weeks... Removing tape for first time!
I'm currently doing this routine, babe, haha :)
At first I thought it was a big chore to do it as I didn't want to be tearing tape off my incisions all the time but now it's just normal for me haha. It's supposed to improve the healing and appearance of the scars and, so far, it's doing just that! My scars look fab and it's all thanks to this tape and my amazing surgeon :)
Take care, honey! xxxxx
