Why is it recommended that the Vitamin E oil be washed after using it to massage breasts post breast lift and breast augment?

Tania Medina de Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello dear, thanks for your question
and provided information as well..
The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by
different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging.
To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a
mastopexy or breast lift.A
breast lift restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape
to sagging breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by
restoring her youthful, feminine proportions, but also help bras and
swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched
out skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into
a more forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast
contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast
lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast,
your surgeon will determine on a personal consultation how your scar’s going to
be and where depending on your breast tissue amount, I suggest you to check
testers with your surgeon about sizes and type of implant,Use rose hip oil and coconut oil after 21 days of your surgery to clarify your incisios, Hugs!

I ask my patient NOT to use vitamin E oil on their incisions after surgery.  Vitamin E can interfere with the inflammation that is necessary for wound healing.  I have seen incisions become very wide because vitamin E was used on them early in the healing process.Make sure you check with your surgeon before you put anything on your incisions!
