Will a foot massage or facial affect the healing process after a breast augmentation?

A facial or foot massage will not negatively affect the healing process after breast augmentation procedure. To be fair though, there isn't any research, so we cannot truly be certain. However, if it has any effect, it will be positive as the massage will help you relax.Hope this helps.
