Hello, I had a bilateral breast augmentation and breast lift, and am looking for the best massage techniques to use. I was not given a post op strap to wear because was told due to the lift it would put too much pressure on the type of scar I have. A lot of massage techniques I am seeing say to press down at the top and hold. I am unsure if I should do that since that seems kind of like what the strap I was told not to get would do. Are there any techniques specifically for implant AND lift?
Surgery was 10 weeks ago. About a month ago I noticed a lump/hard spot on my right breast to the left of my areola. I have a similar hard area on the other side but it's smaller. I went in 5 days ago for assessment. I seen the PA and after feeling it she said it was normal scar tissue. She said massaging will help break it up. This morning when I woke up it was very painful. The whole area area it hurts. Just pushing on my upper breast is painful. Is this normal?
I've had several breast surgeries for breast reconstruction. 2/26/2019 I had a revision lift to the left side with implant exchange, same size. My surgeon placed my new implant through the vertical incision for the lift. I have scar tissue from the vertical lift or underlying muscle attaching to my implant pocket. I had 11 sessions of massage and I'm about to start six sessions of physical therapy prescribed by my surgeon. Anything else to relieve the amount of animation under the left breast?
Im undergoing a breast lift with augmentation next week and Im confused. Some say that massaging the breast post op can help prevent capsular contracture while others say it can increase the risk. Can anyone provide better insight? Thanks in advance
I have not yet regained nipple sensation and the recommendation has been to massage it. Is there a massager that I can use, with 2 kids there is so much time I have to massage, if there is something I can use while I do other things it may help me be more consistent otherwise Ive never will have the time to do it every day.
I'm 9 weeks PO and my left breast started to feel more tight and firm about a week ago. My PS advised me to start massages but after my 1st and 2nd time, my left breast is very sore and painful. Did I do it too hard? Or is that normal since I'm trying to break down scar tissue?
Waiting for drop and fluff one one side. My left side has been high and tight and kind-of oval-shaped since surgery. Im left handed. My right side dropped and filled out quite a bit already. Im 5 weeks po. I had 475cc silicone unders, an anchor lift and a TT. I was already large breasted to begin with...with lots of extra saggy skin. Ive read a lot about waiting and time will tell, but Im also very worried. Ive been massaging per my PSs orders...I havent seen a bit of difference.
I had benelli lift and implants. My scars are thick and widened (tho not keloid or hytrophic), what's best scar management at this point- massage? What should I massage/ moisturize with? Lasers? Are silicone sheets useful at this point for thickened scars? Scar gel? All suggestions taken
I am two months after breast augmentation with perioareal mastopexy. I think the scars are healing quite well (mostly on the top side) but i dont know why i have this one wrinkle or gathered skin around left areola. It is just this one spot and it doesn't seem to be typical pucker, more likely a spot which was sewed too intensively? I am trying to massage it so it smoothers a bit that doesnt seem to help. Thank you.
I'm wondering if I have a breast lift done, if it's wise to have the implants placed at that time. I want a saline implant and I'm also trying to decide if I want it to be smooth or textured. The main point of the textured implant is to help avoid a contracture but that can also be avoided if the proper massage is done, right? Does the smooth implant feel more natural or softer? What would put me at risk for the smooth implant bottoming out? Why would some doctors prefer one over the other? Thank you!
