Hi girls just wondering when they recommend you can start laying on your side? I’m getting fed up with lying on my back. And when can you start putting bio oil and shower gel? I’ve been told I can shower tomorrow 10days PO but not to use shower gel tomorrow x

As soon as you feel comfy doing it now youre this far po. I didnt until about week two but just because it felt weird lol!
Are your incisions completely closed? If they are, you could use ‘Simple’ bodywash as its not got tons of chemicals or perfume, thats what I use, just dont directly rub the underside/incisions.
I started using bio oil on the top and sides of my boobs, again just not near incisions, after my 1 week check-up.
Have you had your 1 week check-up? Was all ok?

Aww thank you. I’m assuming my incisions are closed but I don’t know I’ve got those sterile strips on them ATM so she said they will come off in the next few days. She said i could shower tomorrow. My 1week check was all fine she said it looked good. So fingers crossed its all healing well xx

Perhaps youre not supposed to use bodywash while the steri strips are still on? Not sure on this point as I had my strips off at my one week check.

Yeah she said not to use shower gel tomorrow so maybe when it gets to 2 weeks if I think they have closed up the incisions then I will use shower gel better to be safe then sorry x

I am 5 weeks PO and still not using shower gel directly on my incisions. Just letting the water run down my chest. Not submerging them in the bath yet either. my 6 week PO check is on Sat (only 5 weeks but I am going away next weekend) hoping I can swim and bath then! x

I have been on my side sice 5 days post op.
I have been putting vitamin e oil on my boobs ever since my strapping came off but not on my incisions.
You can use shower gel in your shower at 10 days post op providing its fragrance free.
I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow and had to see the nurse yesterday as I have mondors cord and she said I can start using normal shower gel now as my incisions have healed really well but I am still going to use fragrance free until 6 weeks x

What benefit does the bio oil do on the boob?

Okay brilliant thanks girls. And bio oil is good for hydrating the skin and helps with stretch marks and helps with scarring x
