How long should I keep massaging my Breast Implants? I'm 1 month post.

Hi there, Thank you for your question. Each surgeon will have a slightly different post care instruction, please follow up with your surgeon to discuss what is indicated for you. Best, realdrsix

Hello,Thank you for your question. I personally do not advise massage for my patients in most cases. Each Plastic Surgeon has their own, preferred protocols. I recommend that you let your Plastic Surgeon know how you feel and ask them if you can reduce the amount.All the best

Congratulations on your surgery! The idea used to be that massage and displacement of the implants kept the capsule around the implant softer, preventing capsular contracture. We actually know now that that is not true. Evidence has proven it does not help.  That being said, every plastic surgeon has different preferences and it is always best to follow your surgeon's guidelines!Best of luck to you!

Hello, You should always follow your surgeon's guidelines. I personally do not tell my patients to get massages, specially when implants are placed under the muscle, due to how easy it is to undermine the submuscular plane more than what the original pocket was, and cause an implant to go higher than expected or out of position. Good luck on your recovery, Dr. Fernandez Goico

There are several schools of thought when it comes to implant massage. Some surgeons, myself included, do not typically recommend implant massage or displacement exercises. The decision to massage or not massage is based on the experience and training of the surgeon. If you have trusted your surgeon to this point, I would seek his or her advice regarding their protocol and then make an informed decision. 

Every surgeon has a unique post operative guideline based on their training, experience, and knowledge.  These guidelines are tailored to the technique used.  Best would be to follow your surgeons guidelines to get the results you expect from the surgeon you chose.My patients start massaging seven days after surgery but this may change based on the individual case.
