How to remove left over ink from when ps marked me up before surgery?

nail polish remover works nicely......................................................................

It is normal for marking pen ink from your plastic surgeon to stick around on the skin for a couple days after your procedure.This is nothing to worry about, and soon it will disappear with normal showering. 

Hello,Ink will usually wear off on it's own after a few washes or you could use a little rubbing alcohol on a q-tip but it won't harm you to leave it for now.All the best

Thank you for your question. The ink will come off on its own after a few showers. You can also gently take it off with a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol. Best, Dr. Kludt

Thank you for your question.  In my practice I educate patients to expect the markings to fade away after two or three showers.  No need to get aggressive with topical cleaning agents such as nail polish remover as the skin is delicate and tender after surgery.  Just let mother nature allow the marks to fade, be patient.  Good luck.

I advise my patients that the ink usually disappears after several showers. Sometimes using baby oil or vaseline aids in ink removal as well. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths. Hope this helps.

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well..

The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging. To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by restoring her youthful, feminine proportions, but  also help bras and swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast tissue… Breast augmentation surgery increases or restores breast size using silicone gel implants, saline implants or in some cases, fat transfer. One of the most popular and frequently performed aesthetic surgery procedures, breast augmentation has a long and successful track record in satisfying women who wish to enhance, regain or restore balance to their figures.

You are only four days postop and showering for the first time, it is not unusual for the ink to still be present.  The markings will eventually fade without any special treatment.

Thank you for your question. The ink will come off in time but you may use rubbing alcohol to speed up the process. 

With showering, the marks will come off on their own. I would not be too concerned about them for now. Talk to your plastic surgeon. I recommend normal gentle showering to remove the markings. If is still problematic I usually have my office staff remove the markings with an alcohol swab at one of their appointments. Before you engage in any of these recommendations, ask your surgeon first.
