When can I get a massage, post mastectomy and reconstruction

January 13, 2017
Asked By:samanthacatoe in Charleston, SC

Hello. I had a bilateral mastectomy in June 2016 and had the expanders removed and over the muscle implants put in place in December 2016. I am in no pain at all, my incisions have headled, and I am longing for a nice sweetish back massage. How long do I have to wait until I can book a massage?
