Any ladies using oils or creams? x

Hi Ladies, I’m wondering if any of you started to use any creams or oils on your new boobies to prevent stretch marks etc and if so when did you start and what did you use? My boobs are feeling very tight and shiny and would love to help them heal x

I’m post op day 17 xx I wouldn’t put anything on them yet as it may affect your incisions and cause irritation or nasty scarring I’d wait till you see the nurse after the 6 weeks and ask her but wouldn’t put anything on before then xx

Hi @hannah , I was really paranoid about getting stretch marks so I started rubbing bio oil on them 2 weeks before my surgery once or twice a day! I have really dry skin as I’m rubbish at moisturising so I think it definitely helped prevent getting them!
I waited a week after my op and then rubbed bio oil into them twice a day as the skin was really dry and just made sure not to go near the incisions. They are covered anyway so it’s definitely fine. I didn’t go with Mya but was told it was fine as long as I didn’t go near the incisions until they were fully healed xxxx

Im the same I started using a type of oil before surgery – and my nurse said to use on post op week 1 visit but like charlotte says to be careful of incisions. So ive been doing this after my shower.. it defo helps with the tightness I think and so far no stretch marks, but i think this is pot luck you either get them or you dont, the same with being pregnant. Ive also been told I can start putting on the scar treatment gel after week 3. I have dermtrix gel pads and the gel ointment.
