Hi.. I am 4 days post op and I am starting to notice pink stretch marks on the upper pole and near the arm pit / side. Since I am 4 days post op, can I still use stretch marks cream / bio oil on just the side and upper pole of the chest?? It's not going anywhere near my scar on the bottom. I really don't want the stretch marks to become white/silvery. Please help ASAP! Thanks!!

Answer: Stretch marks after breast augmentation
Hi Dina,
I always tell my patients that it's OK to use these items as long as they are kept well away from the incisions. Not really sure if they will help, but they should not hurt. The best thing to do for this is to have sufficient support. The snugger the sports bra the better. One reason stretch marks occur is from rapid skin stretching. Wearing appropriate support 24/7 will help. Best wishes, Dr. H

Answer: Stretch Marks after breast surgery
creams and lotions can be used immediately after surgery away from the incisions.
your plastic surgeon should be able to tell you what to do.
as soon as the incisions are exposed and not taped you can use a product such as kelocote, scarguard
biocorneum etc
