Bio oil – how soon can I use it on scars??

Holla ladeez! I’m 3 weeks PO and scars are healing okay, bit not sure when I can start using bio oil on scars? Any advice please? Xx

hey hun, im 3 1/2 wks post op and been using it on mine since day 9! iv read on here you shouldnt use it till 6wks post op but iv been fine and my scars have healed brilliantly xx

Thanks chick have you just been dabbing a little bit on or loads or massaging into scars? Like you say lots of people saying not to so hard to know what to do for the best? Xx

Hey pollywoo, I’m 4 weeks post op and I’ve been using cocoa butter since about 2.5 weeks. Saw my surgeon to get the dressings off at 12 days PO and he said I could start rubbing/massaging bio oil or cocoa butter into the incisions a week after that, so that’s when I started. As long as the incisions are closed and no weeping or bleeding it should be ok, just make sure your hands are clean and you don’t accidentally scratch them or anything. I haven’t had any problems x

Candy floss what surgeon told u that ? I’m wondering the same thing too if I can use bio oil , but I am only 10 days po

Thanks candyfloss xx

pollywoo iv just been massaging a small amount all over my boobs and into my incisions, like candyfloss said as long as they are completely closed and no weeping or anythin you should be fine luv xx

@ilovecali I didn’t go with MYA, it was a surgeon from Nuffield. I guess I had to wait a week after I got my dressings off to let the air get to them a bit and make sure most of my dissolvable stitches had gone. x

I was using bio oil on mine at about 9 days as well. They’ve healed so well and no probs with the oil at all xx

Thanks lovelies! Put some bio oil on today – so hears hoping for happy healing xx

Wow girls I’m 9 days post op and no way could I use bio oil yet. Mine r still so raw xx

aww everyone heals differently, i’ve always healed up so well and quick xxx
