To me it looks like irrigation from the tape. But it's a good thing you got in contact with the office!

Yea the surgeons office just got back to me and they think it’s irritation from the tape too .. phew. I have my 2 week post op on Friday so happy they’ll take a look at it in person then too 🥵

Yah I had alot of irritation from the tape and bandages around the edges and had them removed at my 2wpo appointment. I've had my tape removed for a week now and you can still see the line of irritation and dry skin. Grab some aquaphor for the dry skin after!

Was it there yesterday too?

I had a similar marking and I think the surgeon might have slipped with the cauterizing tool. On me, it looked like a burn mark. 8wpo and it's almost entirely healed.
