how many of u got stretchmarks after ba?

If u didn’t, did u use any cocoa butter cream etc. Before the op?

I’m using bio oil every morning and a lush cocoa butter,shea butter,lavender n neroli oil massage bar at night. But wonderin if it will even make a difference!!

Hi,

I havent (2m post op) and although Ive bought Bio oil I havent really used it.

Someone once said it depends on your skin – if you’re prone to stretch marks with weight loss/gain chances are youll get them but if not you should be fine.

This is a good idea for a thread, everyone says use jojoba, or cocoa butter or bio oil, but those people may not have got any either way, like bruising, some people are more prone. It’s too early for me to know so at the moment i’m using vaseline cocoa butter, and bio oil every few days (any more and it give me spots between my boobs) i think i’m prone to stretch marks as a slight weight change for me can cause them and my tiny tiny preop boobs had a couple of faint ones, some of my friends have lovely natural breasts which have a few stretch marks and they are not the be all and end all xx

I am 3 months post op and so far I don’t have any stretch marks, touch wood. I used palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks for a month before my op and I used bio oil and palmers from day 1 post op and still using them now x

I used the cocoa butter Shea butter cream for about 3 wks before 3 times a day, and haven’t got any stretch marks, sort of keep forgetting since my op but will get round to it properly once I can shower properly again

i used bio oil 3 times a day for about a month before my op and i’ve still got stretch marks about an inch around all of my nipples. i’m still using the bio oil now and will continue to use it cause i bought tonnes of it! i personally think some people are more prone to stretch marks than others and there’s only so much you can do to get rid of them if your unlucky enough to have them! i’ve heard good things about the cocoa butter so give that a try for sure (i’m unable to use it due to allergies)

hope that helped

I’m 4 months po, had 340 under from flat. I used grape base oil or bio oil b4 my op maybe twice a day n I don’t have any. But I think u either r prone to them or not. In my 2 pregnancy I didn’t get any either. Xx

I haven’t had my ba yet but I’m using palmers for stretch marks every 2 days (makes me spotty) but also keeping hydrated and eating lots of veg and lean meat as I’m prone to stretch marks xx

Yep it does depend on ur skin, if your prone then no amount of lotions & potions will help! Xxx

Not sure yet! However I’ve been told pure vitamin E oil is fab xxx

Some people got them during pregnancy but not after their ba and vice versa, you just can’t tell x
