Is it wrong to massage anatomical tear drop implants?

I don't think it's a good idea to massage implants of any type. Vigorous massage could displace an anatomic implant.

I personally do not recommend massage for textured implants - and all shaped implants are textured. If they are riding high then an elastic breast band placed high on the breasts maybe helpful. Speak with your plastic surgeon's office for advice.

Recommendations for implant massage typically vary widely from one surgeon to another, as well as depending on the implant type.  I tend to customize my recommendation from one patient to another depending on multiple factors including her anatomy.  There is some potential risk of malposition with implant massage for an anatomical shaped implant.  However, sometimes I find that still to be helpful in particular patients, but I have them do it in a specific way.  Check with your surgeon to see what she recommends specifically for you.Take care,Dr. Howell

Generally speaking textured anatomic implants are made to stay in the position that they are placed.  Typically they are not massaged because this would cause displacement and possible malposition.  It takes several months before things are healed well.

With textured shaped implants, we typically don't need to massage them.  They are designed to remain pretty much in the same location that the surgeon put them at surgery.  While there is always some time for tissues to soften and loosen, the implants themselves shouldn't "drop," or need to "drop."  If they are too high now, they will always be too high unless repositioned.  With regard to touching them or squeezing them, while you don't need to perform specific massaging of the implants, it is fine for you to touch them and squeeze them like normal breasts at this point, and as long as a particular activity is comfortable for you, it should be OK for you to do it.  Check with your surgeon for his or her specific recommendations along these lines, as surgeons sometimes have different protocols depending upon their experiences, and you should always follow the protocol of your personal surgeon.  Good luck.

I would definitely consult with your PS or seek advice before you start massaging the implants. I usually recommend massaging the scars but tend not to recommend massaging the implants directly unless there is a specific reason to need to massage. Worth seeing your PS

I would check with your surgeon for his post operative instructions. If you are out of town you can to email pictures to your doctor. Best wishes, Dean Vistnes.
