Anyone super itchy after breast augmentation?

Jessicae22 · 09-11-2009, 02:27 PM

So I am a month post op and I have been SO itchy since about week 2. I just started using cocoa butter hoping that will help soothe and moisterize my boobies so that they aren't so itchy. Anyone else have this problem!?

I was extremely itchy EVERYWHERE for the first couple days, but I think it was from the pain pills. Not so much after I stopped taking them though.

yes super itchy, i think its the pain pills or antiboitics

cocoa butter helped tremendously with itchy skin

It's a normal part of the healing process. I felt like I was wearing bras made out of sand paper.

Haha same! They are silk bras and i'm like what the hell is goin on. I'm using cocoa butter and it's getting better but still itchy. Hope in a few days it is all gone!

Thanks guys!

Got that same itchy feel still now and then and almost 2 months post breast augmentation. For me it's not the meds, at this point...but I read that the Skin that is stretching can be real itchy! (Thinking about it: just ask any pregnant women, with a good size belly!!! I had that kinda itch when pregger :-D!!)

Did you use any creams or anything? I am using cocoa butter but it is my nipples that itch more than my actual boob. Is that the same for you?

i was soooooo itchy, it will go away!

Haha definately! Sometimes I felt like I was a dog with fleas I was scratching so much! It was soooo annoying but thankfully went away.

Becca26 · 09-18-2009, 09:33 AM

yep....im still itchy all over. The pain pills do make some people itch, but I think its the skin strecthing like another member said. It makes sense. Just wish it would stop already geez!!!

Try not to itch, it is most likely your skin streching. Apply a lotion at least twice a day to help reduce the chances of strech marks and to help with the itching.
