stretchmarks on breast

I recently had a breast implant with a  lift and I have noticed small stretch marks across them now.  Is there anything you can buy to put on these to make them disappear?

moisturizers that prevent stretch marks. Drink a lot of water.
Marks should gradually blend in.

Hi,

Stretch marks are due to the tearing of the elastic tissues in the skin that accompanies enlargement of the breasts, distention of the abdomen, and the deposition of subcutaneous fat. There are certain women who have a tendency to develop stretch marks on delicate breast tissues because of their restructuring and regenerating activity.

It is impossible to totally remove the stretch marks once they appear. However, you can fade the appearance of these stretch marks or prevent them from appearing by applying creams made specially for this.  It is important to note that some of these creams have no therapeutic effects. Choose those with natural peptides with antibacterial effects, Glycolic acid, and vitamins. Massaging  the breast skin with the moisturizing agents at least twice in a day may also help. Others opt for surgical means or  laser treatment. Discuss which option is best for you with your doctor.

Take care and regards.
