Re: Tape
I showered as normal (with the plasters still on the incisions) then dried them gently with a hairdryer. After a few days they fell off and then I just left them. I was advised to use rosehip oil but if you've been told to leave them for 6 weeks then I'd do that.

Re: Tape
I left my scars alone after they took the plasters off when I was 13 days post op. When I showered I patted them dry and put on a clean sports bra. I didn't put anything on my scars for 6 weeks. But I put bio oil and palmers cocoa butter on everyday. If your not sure I'm sure you can give the nurse a ring just to put your mind at ease.
