Why shouldn't you massage breast implants post BA? There is much contradictory information out.

January 4, 2017
Asked By:Beautyphile8 in Honolulu, HI

I see many physicians advising to massage and many advising not to massage post breast augmentation. If the implant has been placed under the muscle what is the reason behind not massaging the breast? Massage is used to prevent contracture, but what causes contracture? Does massage help after contracture has already happened? Will massage make a difference to prevent contracture? I want to learn as much as I can before surgery to make me less anxious.
