DCIS surgery thru nipple: How did you take off the strips easily?

Leave the steri strips in place for now.

Don't you have a follow up appointment with your surgeon? I had a follow up at three weeks and they were removed by the Physician Assistant. If you don't have a follow up - if it were me - I would leave them alone but let them get wet in the shower each day, drying with a clean towel afterward. Eventually they will gently come off by themselves.

Hi
They came off . I do not see my surgeon until January 16th. And they told me to make sure they were off after 10 days. They came off at 15.
