Best massage oils?
WORTH IT$10,010
Hi there lovely ones!
I’m wondering if you have any advice as to the best creams or oils to use after explant? I’ve been alternating every couple of weeks between rosehip, coconut and olive oil, plus a cream I made myself with beeswax, argan oil, Shea butter and hemp oil. None of these ingredients have previously caused any problems, but I still have lots of tiny red bumps on my boobs. Even when I use nothing for a week or more the spots still remain. The rest of my body is fine.
I used to get keratosis pilaris but not for a few years now, and only on my arms. The tiny red dots on the boobs aren’t raised or flaky so I’m thinking it’s not that.
Could it be a leftover from the silicone removal? Could there be silicone in the actual breast tissue that is causing inflammation, despite having had a total capsulectomy? Is anyone here experiencing a similar thing?
I posted a question to the doctors on this site but no reply as yet. :-(

Comfortable bras!
These are a couple I’ve tried over the last month or so.
The grey is a Genie type I think- just over the head, no underwire or fastenings. (KMart, $20 for two)
The black floral bra is a Berlei “Barely There” ( on special at Myer for $22), very comfy but it does have underwire.
The “chicken fillets” were also from Myer, $39:99. The last pic is of the Berlei bra with the fillets- a bit of overkill, I think!

You look great, especially in that floral bra, which is so pretty! I' had to laugh because I didn't realize when I first heard the term that "chicken fillet" was a nickname or bra inserts. I thought women were putting actual pieces of chicken in their bra's for added volume, and my only response was " Yuck!!! That seems really unsanitary and gross!!" Duh.... :- )

Thank you!
Hi All,
I’m sorry if I haven’t responded to your wonderful comments, but I’m having trouble accessing notifications and profiles- not sure if it’s a fault on the site or just my phone.
I will try to respond, but in the meantime am sending huge hugs to Maria, Lisa, Dog Mama, Patty and Silicone Sister for your beautiful encouragement and wisdom- I do appreciate it! [RS bleep]
