Post op creams?

Does anyone use any forms of creams or oils on their breasts after operation at all to help? or is there no point putting anything on them? xx

My nurse told me on Monday not to put anything on them until at least 2 weeks PO. Then she recommended a vitamin E cream on the scars to soften them.

She said anything before that could work its way into the scars and could cause infection, so it's not worth it.

loads better today compared to yesterday, dreaded moving yesterday as painful to get up but today feel more on top of it all, but trying not to overdo it still, just worried about my boobs shrinking lol as getting used to size they are, lol

That's good then! How do you mean shrinking? As in the swelling going down? Mine haven't really shrunk over two weeks. I'm hoping that means this is their actual size lol Post op creams? 199385

yes dont want the size to get smaller and smaller lol have a tiny bit of swelling but i think i should stay the size i am lol do think i need a bigger bra though as mine is digging in on the band bit, ouch

Yep I went up to a 36 and down a cup size. It made the world of difference. I think my swelling was more around the breast if that makes sense because after a week I was doing the 36 up on the tightest fastening and it was loose so i've now bought some 34 band sports bras (£4 in Asda!!)
