Should I massage my breasts after breast implant surgery?

Massaging your breasts after breast augmentation would prevent capsular contracture and help the implants settle into the pocket. It is not mandatory to start massaging directly after surgery. I would recommend waiting at least 2 weeks or once the swelling and bruising subsides. To avoid encapsulation, aggressive massage would help soften up the implants making them feel more natural.
