Had surgery yesterday and everything going fine but not sure if I should be using bio oil this early or should i wait until my structure knots removed in a week. Was thinking of using to rub on tight breast tissue not scar at this early stage. To early or get started?
Answer: How soon do I start using bio oil after surgery? Thank you for your question. We normally advise every patient to wait at least 6 weeks, however, every surgeon has their own protocols. Speak with your chosen surgeon. All the best,

Answer: Bio oil Thank you for your question.I would recommend using a vitamin oil on the scars after three months post surgery, but it is always a good idea to moisturise the rest of the skin on a regular basis soon after surgery.

Answer: Silicone (bio oil) Post Surgery: When to Start to Get the Best Scars? Silicone gels or tapes and bio-oils are usually administered to prevent the surgical scars to become hypertrophic and hence achieve the best scar quality. When to use is totally the preference of the surgeon. In my practice for breast and body aesthetics, I usually use a special water resistant strip on the incision lines during surgery which are left in place for a month allowing the patient to take shower immediately the day after surgery. This is of major comfort to the patient as he/she does not need to change any dressings and can freely return back to routine life. After removal of the tapes 1 month post surgery, I usually administer silicone gels and tapes for controlling the scar quality.

Answer: Topical medicament said no benefit to scars after breast augmentation. The use of any topical medication after breast augmentation should be done only upon the direction of your own surgeon. In my opinion these are of no value.

Answer: Follow your surgeon's advice Usually at it takes at least 10 days for the steri-strips to fall off so you will not be able to put anything on your incisions. With until your surgeon's tells you that it is ok.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
