I will be having surgery very soon (mastectomy w/ reconstruction expander on one side, augmentation on the other), and I was wondering if anyone has used any essential oils to help their skin heal from surgery. The plastic surgeon is concerned about my being so small and it being very tight to close my remaining skin over the expander. I figured if there was anything I could do to help, I might try it.

    Just had mastectomy done with an implant right at the same time. I also was very small breasted and tight skin. There was no way for me to use any fat tissue either, I'm thin and couldn't go any bigger than what I originally was. He wound up using the smallest implant he had which winds up bigger than what I had lol. Tight enough as it is I can't imagine mine evrybsttetching more.

    Do you know how many ccs he did? He told me he was thinking of using 235 ccs for me. I mean, I'll work up to that on my mastectomy side, but that's what I'm going to get in my augmentation on the right.

    Hi,

    If he told me after surgery, I do t remember. Have follow up on Mon so I will ask. I was using Frankinsense prior, but that was because I heard it could be helpful with cancer. Not sure about healing ones though. I do remember Thyme being a good one and Lavender
