Do you need to massage saline implants?

Yes Kathleen massaging the saline implants can help to speed your recovery but more importantly it allows a better result. At approximately two to three weeks after surgery you will be instructed to massage the implants downward and shown how to do this in the office by my staff or myself. Good question hope this helps

Massage has never been validated as a tool in my reading of the literature, but most surgeons do recommend it since it seems to help at least anecdotally.  In our clinic, we recommend patients with all implants to massage for the first few weeks once the pain is resolved. 

Plastic surgeons vary in terms of this issue. You are best off doing what you plastic surgeon advises since they are the one who will be monitoring your healing.
