I am now 10 days post op. I have silicone implants under the muscle and was told to start massaging at my week 1 appt. I have done the massage for two days with only little soreness afterwards. I am a crossfitter and powerlifter, and was bench pressing at twice a week leading up to surgery, my muscles are still decently tight. I cannot find anyone who was given the permission this early. Is it too soon? Could it be because my muscles are tighter and they want to make sure they fall?

Answer: Breast Augmentation/Breast Implants/Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants/Breast Implant Revision I appreciate your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients. Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon

Answer: When to massage after breast augmentation Thanks for your question and congratulations on your surgery. As others have mentioned, you should only be following the advice of your operating surgeon at this point. If you ask 10 plastic surgeons their routine for post-operative massage you will get 10 different answers so its best to ask YOUR surgeon their rationale. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Massage Thanks for your inquiry, but frankly only your surgeon and his/her should answer questions about massage and activity at the less than 2 week mark. Please ask your surgeon for his/her rationale and hope for a speedy recovery.
