Can I use heat to help the muscle relax after Breast augmentation? (photos)

Asked By:mshoppa in Phoenix, AZ

I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op with 700cc hp silicone implants under the muscle with a mastopexy. I don't see my ps for another 2 weeks. My left side is settling good I think, but my right side is still square. After surgery I had a bad case of frankenboob, I was worried, but I knew it was too early in the game to worry. I know it's going to take months to settle, but do you think everything at this point looks like it is on the right track? Can I use heat to help the right side relax, it's tight
