prevention<br />
Not all women will get stretch marks after a breast<br />
augmentation, but it can happen. Also known as “striae”,<br />
these imperfections can appear on any parts of the body,<br />
including the breasts.<br />
Patients who naturally have weak or thin skin are more<br />
susceptible to developing stretch marks on the breasts<br />
after an augmentation, but there are ways to avoid the<br />
chances of them appearing. Bio-Oil has been used by<br />
women for over 20 years to help prevent the formation of<br />
stretch marks by keeping the skin well-hydrated and supple.<br />
Bio-Oil’s unique formulation combines Vitamins A and<br />
E to promote the formation of new collagen, assisting in<br />
skin renewal and increasing elasticity. Vitamin E also<br />
increases the moisture content of the epidermis, reducing<br />
the itch of stretching skin and improving the skin’s overall<br />
texture and tone.<br />
To help prevent the formation of stretch marks, it is<br />
recommended that Bio-Oil be applied twice daily by<br />
massaging in circular motions until fully absorbed into the<br />
skin. Treatment of existing stretch marks is most effective,<br />
although older stretch marks can also show improvement<br />
with regular use of Bio-Oil. Best results are seen after using<br />
twice daily for three months. csbm<br />
