6 weeks post op -questions?

by gillmoo 11th February 2012, 10:56 am

I can't believe that on Tuesday I'll be six weeks post op, its gone so fast!

Just wondering ladies, will I be ok to start using my lovely perfumed shower gels I got for Christmas now instead of these fragrance free, colour free things I've been using? And can I use them on my scars?

Also I think I can start using the bio oil now, do I just rub it into my scars or all over my boobs?

God I sound so ignorant.... but I have to wait another two weeks for my post op check up so I know you lovely lot will advise me 6 weeks post op -questions? 267328

As soon as i could start showering (that was 3weeks p op!) i used normal shower gel,and was given E45cream from hospital to rub over scars !xxx

I used normal stuff from about 3 weeks, but didn't rub directly on the scars xx at 5 weeks though I would say you are fine as long as completely sealed xx

As far as bio oil went, I waited till Mr Martin said it was okay at about 6 / 7 weeks xx again as long as you are all sealed though I would say it's okay xx you may want to check on Monday with a quick phone call shrug

xx

I just put a little bit on my fingertips and then rub it in in small circles all over the scar shrug

think that's about it xx

I'm 3 weeks post op and have been using normal shower gels but making sure plenty of clean water washes over the scars before I get out.

I have been using bio oil all over my boobs since 2 weeks as I was starting to see the beginning of stretchmarks.

As long as your scars are closed you can use normal shower gel and creams x

I've been using moisturiser and bubble bath since Monday when I had my follow up appointment with surgeon. Trying to persevere with bio oil all over my boobs but it makes my skin a bit spotty. X

Thanks ladies, the shower gel will be opened in the morning!

I think i'll start with the bio oil too as my scars seem really good to me.

hlt67 - i can't beleive its been six weeks already, but I have to say i'm loving every minute of the new me!

I was told on day 5 to start using bio oil on my boobs avoiding the scar area... which i have been doing everyday since, not sure when i can rub it over the scars though?!x

6 weeks has flown by gill moo!!!!! Glad to hear your reaally happy!!!!
I've used fragranced stuff since I started showering properly again, I was never told not too.

My nurse said put bio oil on the scars from 3 weeks twice a day, I put it all over once a day too. I have stretch marks from my old big boobs dont want anymore from my new ones!!
