What Can I Do For Paper Thin Skin?

JULIE1968
I had implant replacement done 02/14/13, from 330cc to 540 ccs saline unders- the skin under the right breast toward the middle of my body by the incision, feels paper paper thin - I can feel the implant - about 2 inches long. I have seen the nurse practioner about 3 times since the surgery - she says they look fine, but agrees with me the skin is paper thin and I am feeling the implant. I will see the doctor April 11th. What can I do in the mean time to toughen up up thicken up the skin.
