I wasn't aware I was suppose to be massaging my breasts after my augmentation. My surgeon only mentioned it in passing... I had a full mommy makeover and maybe it was all secondary to the tt? At any rate I am 2 weeks post op and am afraid of a negative outcome. My breasts are pretty firm... Is this part of the process or because I didn't massage? Is it too late to start? I had smooth implants. Also, how long should this be done for? Thank you!

Answer: Massage after breast implants I'm sure you will hear lots of opinions on this topic of massage. Some plastic surgeons recommended some don't. I think it's more important in the early phase of either sub glandular or submuscular implants, but don't think it needs to be done for long-term in this submuscular position. Some implants that are highly textured, in my opinion, should not be massaged. Here we would like scar integration with the capsule and massage may be counterproductive. Certainly ask your plastic surgeon what he or she thinks is the best course of action for you. Congratulations on your surgery and hope for a smooth recovery.

Answer: Didn't massage my breasts after augmentation! Help! Some surgeons prefer massaging of the breasts, others don't. Highly doubt you will have a negative outcome but if you feel the need to start massaging them, then no harm in starting. Breasts tend to be firm when they are swollen and as your swelling resolves, you will notice that the breasts will soften and the implants will drop some. I always advise my patients to wait a good 4-6 months to see their final results to allow all of the swelling to resolve and to let the implants drop and settle some. Best of luck for great results!!

Answer: Didn't massage my breasts after augmentation! Help! Thank you for your question, and I am sorry that this has caused you to worry. Though there are varying opinions on implant displacement exercises after a breast augmentation, there has never been any data to show that it positively effects outcomes. After placement of implants, the overall appearance of the breasts will change dramatically over the next several months. The implants will drop at approximately the 4-6 week mark, and the overlying tissues will stretch to accommodate the extra volume. I know waiting is difficult, but judge your results at 4-6 months after surgery as most of your breast changes should have occurred by then. Hope this helps.

Answer: Didn't massage my breasts after augmentation! Although massaging the breasts is a common practice following breast augmentation, it is not for everybody. It is thought that massaging may hasten the softening of a breast following surgery. It was originally used to reduce the incidence of capsular contracture on above the muscle implants. There are many instances where massage is not indicated and also many instances where massage is not instituted until about a month or a month and a half following surgery. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
