Strech marks??!! Started by: Victoria

I keep an eye out for stretch mark everyday! I got a feeling ill end up getting them as I’ve already got a few anyway. But it’s day 8 today and nothing. I have been using stretch mark lotion since day one, which I’ve only been gently applying around my boob (without touching my incision) and so far so good. It’s called Palmers lotion for stretch marks and I bought it from boots. Hope this helps hun xx

Oh, I don’t have any on my boobs. Just a few on my thighs hun. So have you got the full strapping? Is it maybe just the strapping causing redness on your skin? Because the strapping does cause irritation to the skin – some girls even get blood blisters which are painful.xx

I’m using bio oil on my boobs, well around the edges as I still have the dressing on. I had stretch marks on my boobs pre op but they’ve actually lessened, but I’m using the bio oil to keep them to a minimum, it really works on scars too! x

I’ve got the strapping on too, it’s horrible isn’t it!! It’s making my back ache so much as it feels so constricting!! x

Yeah I would’ve thought so hun, and it might be down to the strap so will go once that’s off hopefully!! X

Bio oil and coco butter is good for stretch marks xx

Oh bless ya, who was your surgeon hun x

Hey hun! Don’t panic. I was exactly the same, I had red marks everywhere! I remember posting on here like so upset bla bla. They’ve completely gone now. I had blood blisters from strapping and bruising! I was a mess.. Now im over 4 weeks post op and it’s all cleared up, I have white marks from where the blisters fell off, so i just need to get back on those sun beds!! Good luck with your recovery. 1st week is always the hardest xxx
