Just had a thought… Has anyone had stretch marks from BA? And if so have you managed to get rid with bio oil? X
maybe try using bio oil before you op hun to help your skin stretch easier? iv been using it for 3 months before my ba xx
Thank you, I’ve only got 2 months to go so will start using ASAP. When’s your op? Xx
iv been using it every day and night haha , 17th april hun , yours? xx
Bio oil wont get rid of stretch marks, will only improve the appearance of them, i’ve been using it for years for pregnancy stretchmarks o got on my hips, they’re almost invisable now in colour but will always be able to feel/see close up the rips in the skin. Use it before your op, as @njrx says, it’ll really help to prevent! x
I had quite a few stretch marks from my BA, and they were purple/angry looking. After a few months of cocoa butter they completely vanished. xx
wah! only just read this really hope i dont get stretch marks, BA in 12 days, will have to go get bio oil today! did you use it straight away afterwards just not on your scars?
I used bio oil in mornings and palmers cocoa butter in evenings for 2-3 weeks before my ba. And I started using it again from 1-2 days post op! So far I haven’t got any stretch marks but I’ve heard some girls that they have just appeared after 2 or 3 months after! So gonna keep doing it for as long as I can! But yh don’t put any on or near ur scars until they have fully healed. Bio oil should help the appearance of your scars too but I’m not sure when your allowed to start doing that Xx
I think mostly getting stretch marks is genetic.
I’m a midwife and see lots of girls different shapes and sizes.
I see super slim girls without a single stretch mark and bigger girls with lots. Some girls use creams and potions without effect and some with.
I’m
A firm believer if your going to get them you will do no matter what you slap on your skin.
I think once they are there they can be minimized definitely.
The only thing I have got is Kelo cote for my scars. I can’t use yet as you have to be 6 weeks to start using. It’s got superb reviews. My scars are already fantastic at 3 weeks but I thought I’d give it a try as going on holiday in 6 weeks x
mr singh told me id deffo get them (As i went up 7 cup sizes lol), so i used bio oil every morning & palmers stretchmark massage lotion every nite for the month before my op, im now over 4monthes post op and had one TINY one under each boob which has faded already! i still use both lotions every day xx
I have been using bio oil 3 times a day or if I am at work just 2 times a day, asha what size did u go up to ? Xxx
