    Hiya! I have my op this coming Friday! So excited. How long after your op do you wait until you can use scar creams or bio oil etc.. 🙂

    Hi Hannah
    I have my op this Thursday!
    I’ve been wondering the same thing about the scars and stretching. I will keep an eye on your post hoping someone knowledgeable pops in to offer advice. Im starting to get nervous now. Not so much about the op but recovery. Fingers crossed for a speedy and pain free recovery x

    A couple of days after my op I started putting bio oil on my boobs avoiding the incision area! I think it’s six weeks until you can start putting bio oil on your scars xx

    Hiya I started rubbing palmers coco butter all over my boobs about 3dpo avoiding the incisions which were covered anyway. It made them feel a lot less tight and I didn’t get any stretch marks on them at all. I kept my incisions covered for about 6 weeks with micropore tape and changed it after every shower, I was told this helps flatten the scar tissue. At 6 weeks I began massaging the scars with vitamin e cream and now 5 months post op my scars are looking great and hardly noticeable. I was told not to use bio oil on the scars for at least a year as it can give them an orange tinge????
