any pre op tips :)?

just wondering if anyone has any tips for before a BA? does putting bio oil on my boobs just now help with stretch marks etc? any other advice would be appreciateddd!! 🙂

Hi 🙂 I have some tips. I’m due my BA 11th October and I’ve been doing some research lol.

*use bio oil about 2 months before op but not on the scar until 6 weeks after.
*buy some arnica 30c and take it 2 weeks pre op and 2 weeks post – google it. Helps reduce bruising and swelling.
*Take leggings and a button up top for after surgery – ur very bloated after the op from the gas when they put u to sleep.
*buy a V pillow (argos have them for £10). Helps u sleep upright comftably.

For some reason I’m having problems messaging and it keeps sending before I finish ggrrrr lol.

I’ve been advised by other women to take 2 poss 3 diff size support bras just in case ur bigger than first thought or swelling is bigger.

I hope this helps? Xx

ahh thats a great help thanks! planning on buying a macom bra to save me a bit of trouble! dont know if uve heard of them but supposed to be quite handy! the price of them is not though haha!! … my ops in three weeks so hopefully thats enough time to for the bio oil to do a bit of work! arghhh really hope so xx

Great post Louise I’ve been wondering the same. Great tips Scarlett

Yes I’ve heard of Macom bras and if u can afford one get one cos they grow with u and the compression is meant to stay the same as ur size changes – plus the material is great for breathing. I may get one yet but so far have 4 diff bras with fastening at the front and back, sports and support in 34d and 34dd lol.

I’m glad my tips can help others 🙂 I’m researching more to make all this easier for myself so will pass on more if I find any 🙂

Oh and wash ur hair day of the op and buy dry shampoo to last a couple of days as u won’t feel like doing it after the op and u won’t be able to get ur boobs wet in the shower/bath whilst u have stitches still.

Move all the stuff u use off high shelves to lower ones so u don’t have to reach to get them, keep on top of pain killers to slightly over lap – not leave gaps or last minute – so u keep on top of the discomfort.

Drink tons of water to stop u feeling constipated after the op (anesthetic does that lol) and
