Should I Prep my Skin with a Stretch Mark Cream Before Breast Augmentation?

November 6, 2012
Asked By:Shnooks22 in Illinois

Is it very common for women to end up with stretch marks as a result of BA? I bought Bio Oil and have been using it twice a day..figured it can't hurt to be pro-active. But my surgey is a few weeks away and I don't want to waste my time doing that if it really won't make a difference or it's just not necessary. Advice?
