How to Treat Stretch Marks after Breast Enlargement Surgery?

Breast implant surgery is a part of breast enlargement technique, which is intended to make the bust line bigger, shapelier and more attractive to look at. However, as the breasts get larger following an implant surgery, the skin gets stretched in order to fit the increased bust line. But the risks of skin stretching can be reduced by employing different preventive techniques. In case you are already having stretch marks following a breast enlargement Sydney surgery with implants, you can take different steps to get them treated and make them less apparent.

Follow aftercare instructions to the letter

Once surgery is over, your cosmetic surgeon will give you some aftercare directions that you need to precisely follow. You should not try to hasten the rate of recovery following operation. Neither should you perform hectic physical activities for 3 – 4 weeks after the operation. In case you hurry with the process of recover, it is quite possible that you will have stretch marks and various other complications.

Apply natural butters

Even before the surgery is conducted, you need to apply shea or cocoa butter every day onto your breasts. Start to do this as early as you can; and it is best to begin a couple of months prior to the operation. You will be able to keep the breast skin well-moisturized and make it less prone to scarring and stretching. Scars are likelier to arise on dry skin after surgery, due to the stretching after operation.

Massage the breasts every day

With regular massages, you can boost circulation in the breast area, and let nutrients and blood reach the skin more easily. This can improve stretch marks as well as the formation of new one.

Use laser treatment methods

A number of sessions are usually needed in order to get rid of stretch marks.

Apply scar treatment cream

Most of these creams comprise of onion extract and various other natural ingredients, which can help the scars to fade away. Apply this cream on the stretch marks and massage to spread it and get seeped into the skin.
