Compression and massage still recommended post breast aug?

Hello @JupitaMoon06 thank you for your question. Every practice works differently and is fine. What I do for my patients. It is very important to take care of the skin, to keep it hydrated, to keep the tapes fixed, to keep an external compression An obvious compressive bra is essential to reduce the tension on the scar and also to maintain the skin in the proper healing process. Drains and control of daily spending, all my patients without exception, because it's allows me is: 1. Decrease the amount of inflammatory fluid or blood that has accumulated in the area 2. allows me to quantify how much is coming out of that drain, we call it how much is spending. Post-operative therapiesThe postoperative period is fundamental between 5 to 10 therapies in order to diminish the inflammatory process, to mobilize the liquids in a better way since the lymphatic drainage is altered and so that we can control and stimulate the healing process.That is important part of the recuperation process for my patients, for me is necessary post treatment sessions. I hope this shed some light! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Dear JupitaMoon06,
I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
