6 weeks post-op: Will massaging help to soften up my implants?

April 21, 2014
Asked By:Tucker2006 in Madison, WI

I'm 6 wks post op and my implants are still not very soft. My PS said not to massage them because the ones I have don't require it. I have the Mentor saline implants. Does this sound right? I am getting a revision done asap and would like to help these babies soften up before my next appointment at the end of May. Should I go ahead and massage even though they apparently don't need it?
