How Long After Breast Surgery Can I Start Using Stretch Marks Cream or Oil?

dina84
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!!
