How to prevent stretch marks post BA?

March 12, 2017
Asked By:jessSA in Manhattan, NY

I have been warned by friends who have had a BA that they wish they had treated their skin pre operatively for stretch marks. Since I am prone to stretch marks I am wondering if it is safe for me to use stretch mark cream pre operatively and if so can I continue to use it post operatively? Is this safe in terms of surgery and recovery? The main ingredient in the stretch mark cream I have is olive oil, which contains a high concentration of Vitamin A, E, Beta Carotene and Squalene.
