Dear Sophy07,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

You seem to be healing well. Every surgeon is different on their post operative wound management. In your case, I would have you start vitE oil or coconut oil to massage your breasts and treat the dry skin.
