Looking to branch out from coconut oil? Constance M. Chen has an interesting pick you’ve probably never heard of before. “Emu oil can be used topically or as a carrier oil. Since it has smaller particles, emu oil penetrates deeper into your skin to improve hydration and prevent water loss,” says the board-certified plastic surgeon and breast-reconstruction specialist. “Some studies show that it has fewer side effects for women with dermatitis and eczema, and it has long been a lifesaver for breast cancer patients who want to restore their breast skin after radiation treatment. Emu oil can also be taken in capsule form for inflammation and to lower cholesterol.” Basically, this little-known oil does it all. Click HERE for the full article.

Many of our patients have volunteered to speak with other women who may have questions about what it is like to go through restorative breast and body surgery. If you would like to speak with someone who has already gone through the process, please contact us and we will find a “buddy” for you.
