It has now been 6 weeks since my breast reduction. I'm a fan of bio oil and would like to hear from a professional when I can begin to apply the oil on my scars? And is bio oil the best treatment for scars or is it silicone strips/ micropore tape? Thank you for your time.
I had breast reduction surgery 3 years ago and ended up with undesired results. Two months ago I had a revision surgery with a visiting doctor who left the country. Im currently following up with another doctor but Im not sure Im receiving the best care. Four weeks after surgery, I started using silicone sheets for 12 hours and bio oil the rest of the day. Im really worried, are my areolas and breast contour going to improve or this is the final result?
Im two weeks post-op. I had my surgery on the 21st of June. I recently started bruising on one of my breast. I purchased Bio oil as my scar treatment. What type of scar treatment does everyone use and is the bruising normal
I just had a breast reduction 1 week ago and am looking into scar treatments for a couple of weeks time. I have been told by everyone to use bio oil but have also read good things about silicone gel. Which is better? Also I need to massage my breast but how do you do this using silicone gel... as the ones I have seen from online shops instruct to put the cream on the scars and leave for 5 minutes to dry where as I can see how you can massage the whole breast using bio oil?
I am 4 weeks post op from breast reduction surgery. Week 1 was just stitches, week 2 liquid bandaid and steri strips, week 3 Bio Oil... The recommended Bio Oil caused issues, after 5 days I started itching, getting red, I could see pockets of fluid forming under my skin. I started having sores open up, and I've been dealing with the ever since. I am allergic to the Bio Oil it has the same ingredients as Baby Oil (mineral oil). So what can I use or should I wait till the wounds heal?
I'm currently using silicone tape but not sure if this is the going to give me the best results. Is there something better that can be recommended or is silicone tape the best option. Had breast reduction in October. Thanks
I am using bio oil on my scars. I am 14 weeks post op from my breast reduction and lift. Is Platos or Malarose a better choice! I have never seen them, but, I keep seeing those product names popping up here on RealSelf. Please give me your professional opinion. I am diabetic and scar very easily so I want to get them fading now.
