Lanolin for Stretch Marks? (photo)

User Avatar

I had a breast augmentation almost 8 months ago. I went from 34A to 34DD and didn't have enough breast tissue to begin with. I know that stretch marks will always stay. However, I'm trying to look for methods to make them fade quicker. Now my question: is lanolin effective in fading stretch marks? Anf if yes, is it more effective than vitamin e? Any other tips you might be able to give me?

Thanks for your post. By 4 weeks the pain of augmentation should be improved. You should discuss your concerns with your PS and identify the likely cause of your discomfort. Discuss with your PS what options you have for pain control and alternatives to control implant position. Best wishes, Dr....

I agree that a 475 cc implant would not appear natural.  It will look quite fake.  Additionally, saline does look more like a coconut shell than silicone gel.  If you are interested in a somewhat natural look, I would consider a significantly smaller implant and preferably a gel...
