So i did my BA a week ago I've recieved 280 cc's of round textured silicone, they feel really firm and unnatural it's really worrying me, should i massage them ? Although my PS said i'm not supposed to massage them, the firmness is bothering me a lot they don't look or feal natural at all i used to be a 34A, is it to firm and fake because i ddnt have much tissue to cover the implants ? Also is there anything i could do to soften em up abit ?
Answer: Isn't massaging necessary A sizing is not necessary for all individuals undergoing breast augmentation. Often, the surgeon will consider this on a patient to patient basis and may depend on all aspects of one's surgery. At one weeks time one would expect swelling and firmness although for sure this eventually will subside. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Answer: My PS told me not to massage my implants ! Isn't massaging necessary ? I appreciate your question.You are still very early on in the post operative period. I have my patients begin to massage around 2-3 weeks. It will take 3-6 months for you to feel comfortable having implants in your body and for them to settle. For any immediate questions/concerns, please follow up with Operating MD.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 breast surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz

Answer: Textured implants = no massage Textured implants are designed not to move. They typically are a bit firmer feeling. I do not recommend them because of this issue. Massaging them will not hurt anything because they are round. If they were anatomically shaped, then you would absolutely not massage them. The whole point of the textured is to promote scar tissue ingrowth and minimize capsular contracture. Those are relatively small implants so massaging should not be a problem. Also, you are very early and your muscles are probably still in spasm. So they WILL get SOFTER! It will just take some time. So in your case, massage will not do much, and time will help.

Answer: No post op massage Hello,It is quite normal and expected for the breasts to feel hard and swollen for roughly 2 weeks post op. Firmness can last a few months until inflammation settles down and tissues soften, allowing drop and fluff. Textured implants tend not to drop as much but they will soften. My patients do not routinely do post-operative massage. Massage usually starts one week after surgery, when everything is still raw inside. Massage may actually increase the risk of bleeding and, therefore, capsular contracture. Follow your Plastic Surgeon's advice and try to be patient with the process. All the best
