Is It Common for my Nipples to Be Very Dry After Breast Lift and Breast Augmentation Redo? I Had my Procedure a Week Ago.Also, the crease incisions are very itchy ugh! is there anything to alleviate this problem?
Answer: Nipples Post Breast Augmentation 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.

Answer: Normal Wound Healing 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.

Answer: 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.

Answer: Dry and itching nipples after breast augmentation.
Having dryness and itchy nipples following breast augmentation is not uncommon. A simple over the counter skin moisturizer can help significantly. Hydrocortisone cream also works well. Be sure that the incisions are well healed prior to use of these products.
