I am having muscle repair after breast implant removal. I will, of course, follow my surgeons directions post-op. However Id like to get thoughts on this, as Im starting to plan my aftercare and the level of support I will need. I know muscle repairs can take 6-8 weeks to heal. I am trying to avoid putting too much strain on the sutured muscle too soon. Do you think planning 4 weeks (1 month) without movements will support my pectoralis muscle in optimal healing? Longer? Thanks!

Following your surgeon's recommendations is the best way to plan your healing. This is due to the fact that he or she knows the type of technique used and how the procedure is going to be performed.

Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear SSLacey,I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
