My op is in january but im scared to death of getting stretch marks, as ive already got loads on my belly from pregnancy, and a few fine ones down the sides of my boobs. Im really prone to them. how can i look after my boobs and avoid them? if i keep applying bio oil everyday up until the op will it help???? xx
Yes that will help babe keep using bio-oil on them before and after op when your able to start using stuff on them again it will help keep your skin supple and hoepfully help to prevent them. Coco butter is good too xx
im soooo scared!! just dont want red stretch marks all over my new boobies!! Ive just been on a pharmacy website and bought 2 large bottles of bio oil and a bottle of palmers stretch mark stuff ! How are u feeling anyway hun, eventually got operated on then bless u xxxx
Yeahh that should help hun I’ve been using it. I’m not too bad thanks hun a little sore but its bareable. Yeahh in the end had my op around 10pmish I fink I’m just really tired now xxx
Just as I thought I was out of the woods for getting stretch marks, around 1.5 months post op I stopped using bio oil, they came. Boo!
xx
aww bless you lots of bed rest for you then, bet you cant wait to get the tape off and see your new additions
aww noo laurakate, get back onto the bio oil. im goinmg to start using it as soon as mine arrives and just keep at it xx
It’s such a pain in the arse though- the bio oil is so greasy and it makes me spotty. Boo! x
aww yeah ive heard that happens, but then whats a few spots compared with stretch marks xx
Yeah you’re right, I’ll just have to suck it up, lol! x
i wish i had my boobies to talk about!!
x
I’ve got to be honest, they’ve taken over my brain. I’m constantly worrying/wondering/thinking of questions to ask about boobs. It’s literally all I think about! x
ha ha me too! for the last year and a bit its all i think about too!! and im constantly staring at other womens boobs, not in a pervy way lol but trying to work out what size they are or thinking oooh id like mine like that x
Haha, I’ve also done that. I feel like such a perv! I don’t think I do it so much anymore though, haha. xx
Iv been using bio oil every morning and a solid cocoa butter bar at nite, it has shea butter n essential oils 2, its frm LUSH called Therapy..every ingredient in it is especially to prevent stretchmarks!! Smells amazingg n melts nicely not greasy:)
Although Singh told me I WILL get them
xx
When can stretch marks arrive I’ve not started using bio oil and I’m nearly 4 weeks without any marks hope I’m just lucky xx
some people just have better skin elasticity than others, but i know im prone to stretchmarks, so i want to prevent as many as i can pre-op. bit worried about 6 weeks of using no bio oil post op like
xx
Make sure u have enough Zinc in ur diet, this plays a big part In the skins elasticity. I am prone too but I stryed juicing before op to make sure I get all my nutrients and use palmer cocoa butter. Not keen on bio because it’s greasy and more seems to get wasted xxx
I’m worried ill have em when I take this tape off booo
hope not xx
I worried about that, I couldn’t wait for Day 4 to take it off. It’s just the swelling making you feel like its happening xx you must live on adrenaline huni with all ur worry xxx
I know I’m terrible! Lol… Ill be glad when its day 4 and I see them and fingerscrossed love them. I just keep thinking even though they are bigger than I expected they will be better than my old ones whatever so I’m happy xx
