Incision's healing time
About how long did it take for your incisions to heal? My doctor says I can swim once they are healed....he said about one to two weeks.

10-14 days the steri strips should fall off or the incisions healed over. Do not go as long as you have ANY openings whatsoever in the incision itself.
