Asked By:tblftw in Fort Wayne, IN

I had 550cc HP Mentor gel, subfascial placement, 30 days ago. Last Friday I started massaging, by Sunday, I had bruises and was sore on my right side, so I was told to stop for a few weeks. Is this okay this far after surgery, to be sore from general massaging? I trust my ps, and he didn't seem alarmed at all. I just would like a little input on the general healing process, and what I should expect my breasts to feel like (softness, pain wise, etc.). Am I freaking out for no reason? Thank you!!
