Asked By:stephgypsum in Dickson, TN

Hi I got 415cc high profile silicone implants. I went to my one week check up and my PS said that at my next appointment we will learn massaging techniques. He said at 6 weeks post op. I have noticed a lot of people start at 2 weeks. Is this normal to wait 6 weeks?
