Moisturising?

Hey girls.

When did you start moisturising after the op? I’ve read from lots of girls that it makes them softer and bigger?

I’ve also read that moisturising before the op is good?

And finally, this might be a random question, but what brand of moisturiser is the best to use? Or does it not matter?

xx.

start 6 weeks prior to opp to soften skin and help strech. then i got told not to start moisturing and bio oil til 6 weeks post opp. cocoa butter is best x

Thanks hun.

How often did you moisturise prior to op? Every day? xx.

when can u use the cocoa butter? why as long as 6 weeks? :S

yeah i did it morning and night. so it doesnt go in to ur scars, there ment to be fully healed first although i have seen on here some ppl have started 3 weeks post opp x

ow ok

I massage the breast but avoid the bottom area. Bio oil or a cream…. Keeps the implant free if done over to avoid cc. Xx

keeps the implant what?

minxymoo, “keeps the implant free if done over to avoid cc” What do you mean? xx.

ino she means cc is capsular contracture but i dnt get the rest of wht u said :S

What’s capsular contracture? xx.

I think she means massaging the breast with moisturiser might lower the risk of CC.

aoifex – CC is when scar tissue forms around the implant because your body is rejecting it, in which case you have to have it taken out and replaced.

I’ve been using cocoa butter every day for about 6yrs so I don’t know how I’ll cope 3wks without it!! xx

Ohh I see, thanks jessbell. So moisturising can avoid CC?

I’m gunna have so many questions like this to ask at my pre-op! xx.

I think it’s more about the massaging rather than moisturising, although I’m not a doctor but I moisturise by breasts anyway so would just give them a bit of a rub while I’m applying it! xx

It just keeps the scar tissue from hardening around the implant so want to keep it nice and free. X

I didnt wait 6 weeks till moisturising…wasnt told otherwise but jeez, my new boobies were soooo tight and shiny at first, I was using cocoa butter about 5 times a day! Didnt want any stretch marks. I just avoided the scars
