Asked By:Houston450cc in Houston, TX

I am 25 years old, 118 pounds, 5'3. I have just had breast augmentation 450 cc silicone 5 days ago. I'm getting a feeling of a carpet burn on both side of my breast area; was wondering if that's normal? And how long I wait to massage them? I have been rubbing them gently with coconut oil twice a day and gently massage the top of my implant due to because it's still pretty high.. When should I really start massaging my breasts? And is there anything I can do about the carpet burn pain on the side ?
