Submuscular implants - Massage or not to massage? (photo)

December 11, 2016
Asked By:kgray21 in North Carolina, NC

I received implants a week ago- 475CC smooth HP submuscular placement. I have not been instructed to massage my implants, however I am reading contradictory information that states massaging will help prevent Capsular Contracture as well as help get the implants in their proper place. I have noticed a slight dent on the inside of my left breast but have been reassured this will work itself out by my PS. The only instruction I have received is to wear my support bra. I just want optimal results! Thank you
