Surgery strips on: What directions did the surgeon give you after the surgery normaly the surgical wound heals in 10 days and stiches or strips are taken off by then i will suggest you call your surgeon and ask what to do, or read the discharge directions as to if you missed the post op appointment.

Steri strips: This is normal. It means you are a good patient and didnt disturb the strips. They will fall off in a few days, no worry.

No: Probably means the skin was very well prepped prior to application of the "strei-strips".They will fall off , hopefully near the follow-up with the surgeon so he can brag about how small the scar is.If the incision is not very nice and clean call the dr asap!
