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

It is very common to perform breast augmentation along with other procedures such as liposuction or tummy tuck and the combination is often called a "mommy makeover". This will save you from having two anesthetics and should save you some money. Good luck.
I would allow you to do this. Some of this depends upon the location of the incision. Some bras with wires may not be a great idea with an incision under the breast.
If implants are placed beneath the pectorals muscle, as they usually are done in this country, the position of the attachment of the muscle to the sternum will limit how close the implants can be to one another. Placing implants above the muscle can avoid this...
