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.

Answer: Stretch Marks Hello,Thank you for your question. There aren't generally restrictions for what you can put on your breasts pre/post op to moisturize them. Stretch marks caused by breast augmentation are rare in my experience and I'm not aware of any topical treatment preventing them. I recommend that you speak with your Plastic Surgeon about your concerns so that they can advise you.All the best

Answer: Stretch Marks are uncommon Stretch marks generally occur when an area gets large, and then gets small. This occurs with pregnancy and then the weight loss, or when breasts get large and then small. It is uncommon for breasts to develop stretch marks after a breast augmentation, unless there were stretch marks present before the surgery. Your surgeon should be able to assess your skin and discuss your risks of developing stretch marks.
