Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter ("A Glimpse to Lasting Relief Last Part", Aug 6, 2024) describing the end of a tissue/skin "harvest" and immediate aftercare: application of a waterproof dressing to remain for about 2–3 days, glue speck that dissolves in ~5–7 days, and expected mild bruising manageable with acetaminophen (Tylenol).
They can take it off. And that little speck of glue will dissolve and fall off in about five to seven days. So we finished the harvest, and Michelle's just going to put a little dressing on there. This is a waterproof dressing that the patients will leave on for about two to three days and they are glued shut. So after that they can take it off and that little speck of glue will dissolve and fall off in about five to seven days. They'll have a little bit of a bruised sensation here, but nothing that a little Tylenol won't help. That was a great harvest, Sam.
