Preventing Stretch Marks After Breast Augmentation?

March 30, 2014
Asked By:PinchPoke in Los Angeles, CA

I will be getting a BA soon to correct moderate boobie asymmetry. I anticipate the formation of new stretch marks. As i understand, science has not yet developed away to "mess with" our elastin, but I just thought I'd ask: anything I ca do to prevent/minimize the formation of these marks that is ok to do whist hearing from surgery? I appreciate your thoughts and thanks so much!
