Will massaging breasts 10 days after fat grafting help the fat survive?

March 25, 2017
Asked By:Hello201777 in Francisco, IN

Hi! I had fat transfer done to my breasts 10 days ago and I was wondering if massaging will help the fat survive as I have read in many places that massaging the breasts increases blood flow and oxygen and makes the breasts bigger. However I also noticed that some surgeons say to not massage the breasts. I was wondering what will give the best results. Thanks!
