I did not have many stretch marks after my BL/TT but I am now 5mpo and am getting new stretch marks ever day especially in the past two weeks. Aside from swelling here and there my weight has not fluctuated much. I was trying to deal with it but to wake up every morning to new ones is heartbreaking. I tried all kinds of oils and creams and even starte taking collagen pills. How do I make these new stretch marks stop from developing? Please help.
Ive been using scar guard and tape and sometimes Mederma oil on the verticals scar but Im wondering if there is another option to lighten and flatten this faster?! Vacay in less than 2 months and I want to make this look better before then. Im 3.5 months post op.
This picture is five days after my tummy tuck surgery. I'm happy with the outcome so far but the remaining stretch mark all over my stomach is driving me crazy. Is there a stretch mark cream, oil, that will help improve the appearance? Will it become less noticeable overtime? Is there any suggestion or brand that will make it look better while in early stage? I'm still wearing the body binder (garment) and applying ointment on my scar. Very concerned about my stretch mark.
I had a tummy tuck w/ hernia and muscle repair about 2.5 weeks ago. I still have a lot pain when I move around. When can I expect the pain to subside? When will I be able to sleep in bed? I've been sleeping in a recliner with pillows, it hurts to lay in bed (even w/ extra pillows). Can I use the essential oils of lavender, frankincense, white fir, & helichrysum, along with vitamin e, and coconut oil on the incision 3 weeks post-op? I've read that they will help with healing and lessen the scar.
