4DPO – any help?

hi girls
im now 4dpo and i feel very tight. when do they advise to start using anything like cocoa butter to massage your boobs to try help your skin stretch a little better?

I am currently 17 days post op and had fairly small implants due to me being tiny framed so I did not get much of a tight feeling but found that a few days ago my skin began to get incredibly dry, so wished I had used something sooner! Not at any point did they advise me to use any products/massage them. I would just contact your PC/nurse for any recommendations and they can advise you. I would be careful what you apply as they do say no deodorant etc? Hope you’re doing well 😀 xx

thanks Christy. i see the nurse on wednesday so may just ask her then. just worried about stretch marks if i dont moisturise my skin :/ xx

She will advise you on anything you need to know and try to help best as possible chick. I had noticed people mentioning on other posts that they suffered with stretch marks but cannot remember how they dealt with them :-/ I emailed my nurse yesterday day asking if there was anything I could put on the incisions to help prevent infection (mine were not the quickest to heal) and she said that they do not advise putting anything on them until 6 weeks post op, but I am applying normal moisturiser and am allowed to put on deodorant again. My guess would be that you’re able to, just not on your incisions 🙂 xx

im still bandaged anyway so no way of putting amything on my insicions ( not that i would anyway ) haha!
i have just use a little moisturiser x

HI Diane
they recommend not to use anything for 6 weeks incase it gets into your incisions and causes an infection. PS Bio oil is the best for helping to prevent stretch marks. Also my boobs felt really tight and stretched for the first week, then they settled down and feel okay now (19 days po) xx
