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: 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.

Answer: Massaging breasts 2-3 days after breast augmentation Thanks for your question. It really depends on what type of breast implant you have. If you have textured implants then typically you do not want to massage at all. Textured "anatomic" or tear drop implants are the ones that really should not be massaged because it can cause rotation. If you have smooth, round breast implants (saline or silicone gel) and under the muscle which it sounds like may have, then I do not see any problem with massaging at 2-3 days after the procedure. This is the time period when I start recommending to my patients to begin gentle massaging (implant displacement exercises) after the procedure. I would check with your plastic surgeon to make sure. I hope this helps!
