    Default Any advice for new fake boobs?

    First- thanks everyone for the advice on the lumps- I'm going to the doctor to get it checked out next week!

    I was wondering if anyone had any "tricks" for making scars dissapear? I've read that mederma, tea tree oil, and vitamin e work . . . but I've heard nothing from anyone first-hand.

    Also, any massage tips to help them look as real as possible? I know the quality of the job is the most important factor, but I heard a long time ago that certain massage techniques really help.

    Any advice is super appreciated- - - thanks again!

    Tea tree oil does seem to help reduce scarring, as does direct application of vitamin E.

    As far as massage tips, giving them a really rough massage in the shower every day helps to prevent the formation of additional scar tissue which otherwise could cause them to stay unnaturally firm. However, this works best with implants over the muscle. If your implants are under the muscle there's not a lot that you can do other than to just wait until your muscle fibers decide to stretch themselves out. The only thing you can really do to accelerate this process is to simply stop using your arms for any sort of heavy lifting and to stop doing upper body workouts so that the pec muscles will weaken naturally. Of course it's impossible to do this and pull yourself up a dance pole too !

    I used Mederma and Curad Scar Therapy pads for my scars. I had a lift so I had scars around the nipple and at the crease. Both worked well.

    Helichrysum oil works wonders on scars too - I find it's even better than the Vitamin E oil.

    I don't have scars from my BA because I got them through the naval. But I had scarring from previous surgeries and in addition the suggestions above, my BA doc told me to take 1000 mg of vitamin E orally every day for better skin healing and elasticity. I did this while I was pregnant and have not one stretch mark. Also taking the Vit E orally is supposed to help prevent capsular contracture from implants.

    The doc said anything over 1,000 mg per day is not absorbed by the body, but most Vit E pills only come in 400 mg. so just take three of those per day if you can't find 200 mg.

    you shouldn't massage them unless your doctor instructs you to.

    and quite possibly the best thing you can do to help the scars fade is to not expose them to sunlight for 1 year. when i started tanning after the boob job, i would apply spf 30 on my incision, then a band-aid, then my bikini top. sunlight (or tanning booth rays) will make the scars darker.

    So true. I can't believe I forgot that.
