When should I start massaging after breast augmentation?

Asked By:samzpurse in Atlanta, GA

I am supposed to wear the surgical bra for 3 weeks. It seems like some people are told to start massaging as early as 5 days but I'm not starting until a few weeks post-op. When is the best time to start in order to prevent capsular contracture? My ideal/saline implants feel very tight..
