Should I do massaging after breast augmentation?

Since the rate of capsular contracture at my practice is low after breast augmentation, I do not routinely advise massage. If you are instructed to do massage exercises, it would be a little later on in your recovery so that things can get a chance to settle and tissues are allowed to strengthen a bit. If your surgeon advises that you do massage, it's best to listen to them.It is important to remember that a slow steady stretch is more effective than a quick jerky movement. Don't worry about injuring the implant, you cannot cause a rupture with these breast exercises.Press the breasts slowly and maximally inwards (towards your breast bone) and hold for 10 seconds, then release. Repeat 4 times.Press the breasts apart slowly and maximally outwards and hold for 10 seconds, then release. Repeat 4 times.Repeat for downward movement.Repeat for upward movement.Perform these exercise 2 times per day after your breast augmentation procedure.

Thank you for the question.

If you have had the procedure I would recommend that you follow your plastic surgeon's recommendations.  Most  likely he/she has recommended massage of the breast implants  which is felt by many plastic surgeons to be helpful in keeping the breast implant soft.  if you have questions about the  specific technique  your plastic surgeon recommends then address those with him/her during your next visit. Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be confused or overly anxious with online consultants' recommendations.

Best wishes.
