I had a breast augmentation done on january 21, 2015. I received 500ccs in both breast (mentor implants, high profile). I begin massaging my breast two days after surgery because I was not in a lot of pain. Will this negatively effect the overall appearance of my breast in any way?
Answer: Too early to massage It is entirely possible that massaging your breasts before 1 week can cause bleeding which might need surgery and result in a long term complication in the way of capsular contracture.

Answer: Massage after Breast Augmentation. Each surgeon has their own individual post-op protocol that they like. I would stick with what your surgeon recommends. If you do not follow their protocol and a problem arises, the surgeon most likely blame the cause of the problem, on not following their directions.Every surgeon has a protocol that they feel will give optimal results, ask them for their reasons, they will be glad to share. In my practice I start the massage the day after. If the patient has textured implants or a breast lift with implants, I do not massage.Yours,Jon M. Grazer, MD, MPH, FACS

Answer: Is it bad to begin massaging breasts 2-3 days after breast augmentation? You will find that different plastic surgeons have different opinions about the utility of massage ( and timing to begin massage, if they recommend it all). Therefore, best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon and seek his/her guidance; remember that your plastic surgeon is ultimately responsible for your Okay text care. Best wishes.

Answer: Breast augmentation massage For smooth implants, massage can be carefully done early after surgery. Important to check with your surgeon as to what he thinks is best. Some pocket creations have sutures that should not be stressed by early massage.
