Best Lotion to Put on Right After Facelift and on Boobs After Breast Lift?

Question

My skin is really tight since i got my bandages off this morning i know i need some kind of mosturizer.

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Good question, I have spent time with a lot of amazing dermatologists and they always suggest a water based non comedogenic moisturizer like cetaphil. Its as old as the hills but is safe and great and reasonable priced

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Any moisturizer a satisfactory after a facelift provided you are not allergic to it. There is no topical that is better than another.

Pablo Prichard, MD · Answer

Dear Cherrie,

	Again, your surgeon will be best person to ask, but I personnaly have patients use a kerri type moisturizer on the breasts and a gentle fragrance free moisturizer on their face.

If your skin is dry you can use any type of moisturizing lotion.  Take care to avoid the area around your incisions.

Remus Repta, MD · Answer

Hello Cherrie,

	Skin can become particularly dry after surgery.  Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and staying out of the sun.  A good quality, non-fragrance moisturizer will be all you need.  Your plastic surgeon may have his/her own preferred brand or instructions so its always best to check if unsure.

	All the best,

	Dr. Remus Repta

Thank you for your question.  Be certain to check with your surgeon for recommendations for topical creams to correct dry skin after facelift and breast lift surgery.

	The early stages of postoperative recovery following facelift in breast lift I typically have my patients apply bacitracin ointment.  The benefit of bacitracin is that it is not only moisturizing but also is an antibiotic.

Gregory Park, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Any type of hypoallergenic lotions are ok to use after a facelift or breast lift. Make sure that you ask your plastic surgeon if you are healed well enough to start using lotions. Thanks for your question. Best wishes.
