I am 6 weeks post-op. My right breast is slightly higher/firmer. I've been instructed to massage "aggressively". My normal routine is applying pressure up/down/in/out (repeat) 3 a day. After "aggressively" massaging my right breast hurts. I'm afraid I'm doing it too hard. I thought I could possibly have a "capsular contracture" but I'm trying to be patient until my next appt July 8. How hard is considered "aggressive" massaging? ? How strong/hard I should massage my breast w/o hurting myself?
