Should I Massage if I Had Strattice Done to Fix Capsular Contracture?

ohio19
This is my third surgery to fix capsular contracture. This time it's done with strattice. I was told not to massage them for 6 weeks. The last surgery I had a seroma and didn't massage that side and it encapsulated, but the other side that I massaged was ok. With this surgery the day after my drain on the left side seemed to be draining blood and not fluid. So I had an immediate surgery for hematoma. I'm afraid if I wait til 6 weeks to massage it will encapsulate again. To massage or not?
