Was wondering if strech marks wiil appear after having surgery and is there anything I could do to prevent them?? x
get moisturizing NOW!!! Bio oil those boobies up fresh from the shower/bath everyday! till surgery. dont even dry yourself. get out wet, massage it all over your neck chest and boobs (i do my whole body in it everyday) then pat dry with your towel. I got them last time but not this time!!
bio oils your best bet, i got a few and bio oil has faded them already x
I just finished bio oiling up and got in bed and read this post! I swear by it! It helps prevent stretch marks and really helps fade the ones already there! I even like the smell of it lol!
My skin must be really crap because I get stretch marks so easily and have done since being about 18, the tops of my legs inside especially are covered I have some an inch wide, my bum, up my sides and my stomach looks like a rd map it’s that bad! I have had 2 children but I’m only 24 and I’ve tried everything to prevent and get rid of them I also have a really big scar from heart surgery when I was a baby and nothing works on that either. Is there anything anybody can recommend that maybe isn’t so commonly used or things that people swear by other than bio oil or palmers stretch Mark lotion? X
I’m quite prone to them myself
the only thing I can recommend if you really don’t like them is laser skin resurfacing treatments for stretch marks. They are expensive but from what I’ve seen work better than creams. Also you can get something called a needle roller and once you’ve applied the cream/oil you rub over the area with the needle roller. It creates little micro scopic punctures in the skin allowing the cream to penetrate deep down. People use it on ther face and all over I plan on getting one but you have to sterilise it between goes. They say it doesn’t hurt as the needles are very very small xx
I can’t afford skin resurfacing n I’m really scared of needles lol, I saw that needle roller on embarrassing bodies though the other week so I know what you mean but I didn’t think you would just be able to get one of them X
hi stacey i suffer with stretch marks and have done since i was pregnant i started getting stretch marks about9 days post opp, i swear by jojoba oil to fade them is awesome stuff it dont block pores like bio either because its the closest thing to the skins natural sebum heres a link, hope this helps xx
Thanks hun I’ll try that, I think someone has mentioned that before actually but it might have been you if you’ve told anyone about it before! I’ll order some in a min X
Really, I think I’d be scared of using it to be honest even though it probably doesn’t hurt I’m just ded mard lol X
