Dentation and muscle distortion after explant. (photos)

Much of what you are experiencing is expected post explant. Many of these issues will resolve with time. You should allow for 6-9 months of settling before considering further intervention.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Good day! Surgeons have different protocols for post op for each patient and for each procedure. Some doctors would suggest you to do massage, but some don't. It is still best to ask your doctor about detailed information on the aftercare specifically designed for your needs and strictly follow post op instructions for best results. Best of luck! #RealSelf100

I am sorry to hear about your problems requiring explantation. You are still early postop and things will improve.  Yes massage may help although you should run this past your PS. I usually wait a little longer before advising massage and I also tend to offer patients lymphatic massage for indentation. Things will improve

You will most likely have very noticeable improvement in the contours over the next 6-8 months. If there are remaining significant deformities after a year they can likely be improved with further surgery.
