Do you need to massage over the muscle implants?

Question

Hello... I have recently had a breast lift ( 3 weeks ago) with 200 cc over the muscle implants ... I have been instructed to start massaging ... Whether your implant is over or under the muscle should the type of massage be the same ?

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

Some surgeons recommend massage and others do not. Since your surgeon suggested that you do, then it sounds reasonable to follow his instructions. If you are concerned, then I suggest you speak to him.

Lawrence Bundrick, MD (retired) · Answer

Massage for implants is recommended in order to keep a good open pocket with hopes of preventing a capsular contracture. It is done to both over and under the muscle implants when suggested by your surgeon. Follow any suggestions he/she gives you for the best possible outcome.
