Bio oil - stretch marks?

by alipops66 23rd April 2013, 6:59 pm

Hi girls - anyone else use/d Bio Oil before and after their op, was it worth doing? I think I have light ones from when I engorged when I breastfed!
Worked on my tummy though ;-) going from a 32B to a D/DD.

Thanks
:-) Ali

I used Palmers oil for stretch marks before op. Seemed quite think and smelt lovely. In a good way. I am now using bio oil for scars, so we shall see.

Oh cool I didn't think about it for the actual scars :)

Bio-oil can be expensive babe and its not necessary to use to help prepare your boobs for recovery. Any moisturiser will do. As long as you're keeping the skin nice and supple in preparation for being stretched hopefully you'll have no stretch marks from your surgery although this can never be guaranteed no matter what you use.

Bio-oil is often suggested for scars after about 6 weeks post-op, so I'd save your money hun and moisturise for now. Xx
