Dry Nipples After Breast Augmentation Revision / Lift

Hi unique1019, It's common to have dry, sometimes itchy skin around incisions and the breasts themselves. Consult with your surgeon on what topical cream, ointment or moisturizer they recommend. Likely just something simple with no fragrance. For the incisions themselves, you need to really be mindful not to use anything not recommended by your surgeon. I usually recommend cortisone and prescription silicone topicals for those. Unknown products could negatively affect the healing process. One thing I do not recommend is coconut oil. I've see so many patients this year with awful rashes that use this as a moisturizer after surgery. 

Congratulations on completing your surgery.Dry nipples are very normal after breast
surgery.When this happens, you can use
moisturizers, creams, or ointments to help add moisture to the skin in the
area.I would keep the creams off the
incisions until your surgeon says it’s ok.I hope this helps.

Dryness, itching and flaking, which is isolated to
the wound, is almost always related to normal wound healing.When this situation arises, a variety of
treatment options exist including wound healing creams, Benadryl cream and
moisturizing creams.It’s important to consult
your plastic surgeon when this type of situation arises.Your surgeon can rule out infection and
allergic reactions which are also occasionally associated with these symptoms
in the post-operative period.In the
vast majority of patients these symptoms are self-limited and resolve with
passage of time.
